FLORIDA?!??!??!??!?!??!?!??!??!? Hey, OK, my aunt on my mothers side wants to take me to Florida. First because I want to go and second because she wants to take me. I have a sister but, we are not taking her. Only me and my aunt...possibly. It will probably be next year. Money isn't the problem at all. I am now 12 and my aunt is about 44. She doesn't have any kids but, takes me and my sister places all the time. We live in NY. O and we will maybe go to key west... I doubt Orlando or Disney World. Somewhere relaxing Basically, I want to know if you guys think its ok... because my mom said ok but, my dad said there is a lot of safety stuff involved and stuff like that. It is a long time away from NY. And I have to take a plane, hotel, activities, and car (she drives)....etc....etc.... So would you let your kids go?? It would be no more than a week. And I REALLY wanna go because I never did anything like that and it will be fun. Sooooo please tell me you opinions on this! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a Florida resident and i am trying to transfer from an out of state 4 year university and go back home to a Florida 4 year university.

In Florida, How long do you have to register a used vehicle from a private seller? I am buying a vehicle in Florida from a private seller that is 2 hours away. When I get there, it will be too late in the day to register the vehicle and get a tag and I don't want to get a ticket or any other trouble for it. I already added it to my insurance. I will be registering the vehicle the very next day. So I guess my real question is, will I be okay driving it for one day without a tag and not getting a ticket if the police pull me over? Thanks all!

What colleges in Florida would you recommend for a photography major? I am currently in high school and I 'm trying to figure out what college to go to. I want to pursue a career in photography or photojournalism.

Please let me know what you think. Thank you! Thanks for the suggestions. =) By the way, I don't think Full Sail has a photography major.
