PlanetOut reader and Gay.com member James wrote to us asking for some travel advice. He said he was taking on a massive, three month road trip on August 1st, and he wanted suggestions on what to do and where to go from other readers.
The outline of his roadtrip sounded pretty awesome. His email was so specific, we repurposed most of it below so you can get a clearer idea of where he'll be, and the things he's looking for your input on:

"I've never been in Orlando before (or Florida, for that matter), so I'd like to know if there's a "gayborhood" or a district that's more gay-friendly. I'm staying at the Marriott World Center Resort down by Epcot Center. I'll be in Orlando from Oct. 12 through Oct. 17.
We thought we'd open it up to you, the readers.
