No way....LOL I could never tent camp here in the summer. I would tent camp right now though. It's perfect for camping out there. And biking!

Florida Positives, OK: The weather always seem to stay below 99 degrees. There are plenty of cheap places to rent/buy. You can certainly catch up on your philanthropy here. Tons of law enforcement. Newspapers are always full of colorful stories. The checkout lines at Dillards and Coach are never long. Vasectomies are free. Schools have great free and reduced lunch programs. Plenty of lawyers, builders, and yard workers. Has the most AARP members. It doesn't snow.

You're not going to suffer from the winter blues lol like some of us from the northeast.
There are beaches, beautiful beaches all around you. There are always things to do and see.

I think the thread is about positives of Florida only.

Humidity!!!!! Yippee!!! It can NEVER get too humid for me!

Clean air: The cleanest!! Ionized too with all the thunderstorms. I have absolutely NO allergies there, which allows me to smell the perfume of the South Florida air!

Warm weather: Balmy or tropical humid even ambient temps. None of this freezing on my shady side, roasting on my sunny side California crap. Most of the time out here I have to wear black clothing and turn around like I'm some kind of a lamb on a rotisserie just to stay warm!!!


Beautiful scenery: Blows California away!!! Wow, actual green and not just varying shades of greyish olive drab! Palm trees that look like they could glow in the dark, and the brilliant magic lighting effects of the of the tropical zenith where the sun occupies the 90 degree (ok, technically 87 degree) mark in the sky!

Clouds: Oh yeah! don't even get me started on the clouds! South Florida has some of the most spectacular skies I have ever seen!









I think these images say it all!!! Yeah Princess! I'm with you on that. I hate cloudless skies!
