The gloomy weather is upon us and if you are like me you are already planning your winter escape. One destination you should consider this year is Florida. The Sunshine State lives up to its name in the winter time. Between the golf courses, theme parks, beaches and all-u-can eat buffets there is more than enough fun stuff to occupy your time while you are there.

Thomson is making it ridiculously easy to [1] holiday in Florida this winter with packages that start at a mere £309. At prices that cheap, you should be willing to risk your life to visit a place inhabited by alligators.
