    I know people say Florida is incredibly hot. I'm sure that's true, but...

    Compared to 9 months of snow and gray skies, one month of hellishly hot weather and beaches with blue skies seems like a good trade!!

    Who here lives in Florida?! Tell me what you like about it and what you don't... :geek: :ugeek: :D


    WOW! congrats AM, very happy for you and your family!

    florida eh? better you than me my friend. ;) haha. seriously, florida does have a lot of beauty and i am sure it will be a welcome change for you. definitely waaaayyyyyy too feckin' hot for me tho! :shock: however, sweet bejeebus....where you are now has 9 months of grey skies and snow?! :o sheesh! i wouldn't want that either! i like a happy medium.....bout 4 months of each season, and overall...that's what i get. sure, sometimes spring and autumn are a bit short.....and i could definitely do with a cooler, less humid summer....but overall....it's pretty well-balanced where i live, close to a great big city, LOTs of beach, etc....so pretty happy. my biggest complaint is expense! ha! otherwise, pretty damn happy right where i am. perhaps someday the PNW might suit us better, but as family and jobs are here....plus overall suits us well...probably stay put a good long while. but sure, we can visit you in florida. :mrgreen:

    I know what you mean... I'm moving from Chicago to Cleveland. Both have shit weather, but at least there's stuff to do here in Chicago :( Once I pay off my loans, I might look into moving to Carolina or the northwest something. I can't stand winter.

    The NW ain't bad. You'll get all 4 seasons that start when they're supposed to. Never really below 30 degrees or over 90. Little to no humidity. Good music and more affordable than the east coast or large Midwestern cities (except Detroit ;) )
    NERDS!

    Does it help to drink a lot of water when it's humid? :geek:
    if you're going to be outside for an extended period of time...then you should always have water on hand! but...i don't feel that it makes the humidity any more bearable. it's awful no matter what you do!! just spend your time outside during the summer months in either the early morning or late afternoon...it's a little more tolerable.

    the tampa bay area is pretty...and i'm sure you'll love it here i'm sure :D i say that as i look out my window to clear blue skies, palm trees, and the water!!

    Thank you for saying "I'm sure you'll love it here" :D

    Thanks dear! 8-)

    You CAN come and visit. I'm excited. I think the area we're going to live in will be pretty and the city of Tampa will be close and it is a more interesting and active city than Rochester that's for sure!

    We're looking forward to the new jobs too. :)
