Anna Maria hotter than ever

Come on over to our place! The winter might be beating down heavily in the north right now, but we know somewhere that's warm and toasty year-round: Anna Maria Island.
And, despite the economic downturn, now might just be the best time to book your stay in paradise as the cost of flights and accommodation drops - especially if you happen to live in Canada.
This from the Sun Sentinel:
Airlines and hotels are touting bargains to lure Canadians. State tourism agency, Visit Florida, features a Canada section on its website with deals, including some hotels that are half-off from last winter. Round-trip airfares from Toronto to Fort Lauderdale now can run $300, down from $600 or more a year ago.
"I've never seen such (airline) seat sales," said Henny Groenendijk, Visit Florida's public relations manager in Toronto.
Canada matters, because the nation of 33 million residents sends more visitors to Florida than any other country. Canadians also tend to stay relatively long: 17 nights on average. And they include tens of thousands of "snowbirds" who own homes in Florida and often come for three-month stays in winter.


So get booking your flight, and then check out the great vacation rental properties at annamaria.com for the best the island has to offer
