Though the words ‘luxury’ and ‘budget’ rarely meet, there are times and places where they can come together harmoniously, in a fantastic meeting of enjoyment and savings.
So, if you are thinking about heading to the wondrous Sunshine State in 2014, here are a few tips and attractions for combining a little bit of luxury while saving on the expenses.
