That's why all the flights to Florida are PACKED in January. People need their "fix" by then.

Flights to NY are packed more during the year than going to Florida. You're talking to someone who flies to/from NY and Florida about 5 times a year.

Sorry, but you need more proof for this ridiculous claim than the simple fact that you fly back and forth a few times a year.

Try getting a last minute seat from New York to any Florida city in the middle of winter. Unless you are willing to pay TOP dollar, you can't.

There is a reason that every single airline serving Florida BEEFS UP their winter schedules - the mass exodus happens every year.

Exactly the same reason why it's so expensive to fly to NYC also during the Christmas season. It's MORE expensive flying to NY in the winter actually. I think flying to/from 5 times a year is enough experience to know how it works by now.

Guess again. You have no idea at all of what you are talking about. You are also talking to someone IN the travel industry.

You could not be more wrong on this. You need to provide proof of what you are claiming, and there is no way to do so. The facts are the opposite of what you say they are.

I've been reading CD while I was gone, and I noticed you mentioned you lost your job. So you really haven't been in the travel industry for a while now.

I fly twice in the wintertime to NY since I moved here. Sorry to say it's always much more to fly to NY because of the high demand of spending the holidays in NY (the most popular place to go during Christmas-time, everyone knows this).

How nice that when challenged and proven wrong, the insults and lies start - as always. How mature.

I'll let you have the last word, Rachael. You've already derailed the thread enough, and we all know you MUST have the last word. Otherwise, you'll see to that it gets locked - just like you always do.

NYC doesn't have as much nature as other cities do, but at least it has the Poconos that are close by. Other than that, NYC has more things to offer than most cities, which is why many aspire to live in NYC.

And about the giant cockroaches--my daughter and I went to the local waterpark here in Naples last week when she was visiting. She kept noticing roaches in the water and on the pavement in the park. I told her the roaches here are worse, because they FLY too.
I was working on an apartment in Harlem once and we had to take a kitchen cabinet off the wall.

When we took the cabinet off the wall was black until the light hit it, then they scattered.

Is that why if you take out births and deaths the population in NYC would go down every year?
