Buy one of the Waterway guides. Then sit and flick through it.

While everyone is different, and boat differently, my suggestion would be:

Go inside and do the ICW once. In all likelihood you won't stop at all interesting locations during that trip, but you will get a flavor of the towns and anchorages. Then, on other trips south, if you feel that wasn't for you or the missus, go ahead on the outside weather permitting.

We will be going up to the Chesapeake next summer. We will go outside until Hilton Head because we have done the inside up to there a number of times. But after that we will probably stay inside as much as possible going north.

Then coming back we will probably go outside, only because that will allow us to spend a few days more in the Bay.
