Welcome to the land of perpetual sunshine, beautiful people and of course Mickey Mouse. You may want to arrive in Orlando a couple of days early to take in Disney world, Universal Studios, or just to unwind with a few rounds of golf. Whatever you choice may be, Orlando is certainly the city that has something for everybody. Tonight we will meet our fellow riders for the first time as we enjoy one another's company, a cold drink and great meal in a lively Orlando eatery.

Today is all about feeling the warm Florida air wash over us as we make the leisurely ride from Orlando to Juno Beach, our first on a long list of beaches that we will explore on our journey. Juno Beach is a laid back beach town with a very cool vibe and atmosphere. Tonight we will watch the moonrise out of the Atlantic as we sip Bahama Mamas and dine on plates of chilled shrimp and stone crab at a local beach bar. Welcome to paradise. By the way, get used to it.

Every serious motorcycle rider needs to ride about ten places before you hang up your leathers, and the strip along Miami South Beach should most definitely be one of them. South Beach is a seemingly endless stream of tanned bodies, sidewalk cafe's, eclectic restaurants and some of the hottest beach clubs in the world. We've got about 24 hours to soak it all in so let's get going!

You've seen this stretch in movies such as Mission Impossible 2, but now here's your chance to ride a motorcycle along the myriad of bridges, sand bars and concrete that make up the Florida Keys. We'll stop for lunch today at a place where your cold shrimp and crawfish will be piled so high you won't be able to see the person sitting across from you at our table. EagleRider loves riding in the mountains, but there is something about riding alongside the white sands and turquoise waters of the Keys that keeps us dreaming of this trip all Summer long.

What is your pleasure today? Whether it is fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, exploring remote beaches, kayaking, water sports, or simply kicking back with your toes in the sand at a local beach bar, Key West has what you are looking for. You are in paradise. Kick back and enjoy the lifestyle and the people that keep the likes of Jimmy Buffet coming back year after sunny year. Tonight we will get the group for a big night out in Key West.

We start our journey north today on our way out of the Florida Keys and towards the Gulf of Mexico and her inviting beaches. We will have one last opportunity to wolf down a bucket of ice cold shrimp along the keys before cruising along the north rim of Everglades National Park. Let us know if you are ready to try your hand at alligator wrestling. If not, kick back and enjoy a cold drink as we watch the professionals do it. Tonight we will enjoy the lively town of Fort Myers on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.

Our journey continues as we get another great day of seriously fun riding under our belts. We'll roll into Orlando late this afternoon with a renewed sense of energy, some sand in our boots and, of course, a great tan. Tonight we'll say goodbye to our friends on the first half of our tour and hello to our new friends joining the second half. They have no idea of the adventure they are embarking on, so be sure to share your stories and put a little sparkle in their eyes!

Spend the day with Mickey and Minnie Mouse or eat lunch with Cinderella while you tour the enchanting charm of Disney World and the Magic Kingdom. Splash around with Shamu the Killer Whale at the world famous Sea World Adventure Park. Indulge in some retail therapy on the sprawling indoor/outdoor Outlet Malls where bargain hunters and big spenders alike come to enjoy the sunshine and shopping. No matter how you choose to spend the day, enjoy the city, the sunshine, and a much needed day of rest and relaxation.

St. Augustine, Florida is the kind of city that will make you want to put down your bike and pick up a sword and an eye patch. Ayyyy matey, tis the land of the Caribbean pirate, and you feel like you have stepped back in time. No doubt you will enjoy this vibrant and eclectic coastal city. The weather is great, the drinks are cold and the shrimp are plentiful. Just be careful you don't end up on "The Rack".

Early today we will just kiss the southern border of Georgia as we rumble through the vast Osceola National Forest and start to make our way towards the Gulf of Mexico. Our final stop tonight is the small town of Perry, Florida. Tomorrow we start our journey along the Gulf Coast.

The Gulf of Mexico really comes alive as we rumble along her shores on our way to Panama City, Florida. Panama City is a lively coastal town that offers captivating views, southern hospitality and some great food. Tonight will be a group dinner Gulf Coast style, with buckets of shrimp, bottomless cold drinks and great live music.

Biloxi, Mississippi is one of our favorite cities along the Gulf Coast. Lunch today is gumbo, Mississippi style. We'll roll along the back roads of Mississippi and find ourselves slipping back in time as we pass the small fishing towns that look much like they did 100 years ago. Biloxi jumps at night! Try your hand at one of her river boat casinos or take in a few of the local hot spots that feature down home, southern rock and roll.

You may have lost a few bucks at the blackjack tables in Biloxi last night, but don't fret. Today is your lucky day as we make the short trip up the Gulf Coast to one of EagleRider's favorite cities in the world, New Orleans. The French Quarter is alive with a patchwork of people, incredible food and southern libations all year round. This is the part you have likely been waiting for. Don't miss a second of the fun! P.S. EagleRider knows all of the best spots for whatever tickles your fancy in New Orleans.

If you didn't get enough of New Orleans yesterday you are still in luck. The French Quarter never sleeps, and that's why EagleRider always stays two nights in this incredible city. Let us know what you want to see today. We'll be making a special side trip to the cemetery that was made famous in the movie "Easyrider". Tonight, more of the same.

Thanks for sharing this incredible journey with EagleRider. The breakfast conversation today almost always turns to plans for our next ride together. Saying goodbye to new friends is the hard part, but somehow we all know we'll be riding together again very soon. We have a motto here at EagleRider Motorcycle Tours..., It's never too early to start dreaming about next year!
