Ah Florida, America's Australia, not quite a prison colony, nevertheless, a sunny place for shady people..joke.
The whole state is a coastline, hurricane prone, and the only place it doesnt rain is indoors...but let us start with the obvious: It is hot.
All these old folks that retire here are doing a dress rehearsal for hell..ok actually heck...and when they end up there it is Boca Raton all over again. Heck is other people and you meet them in the Sunshine State.
Sunblock by day, insect repellent by night
Yes there are alligators crawling around but let's talk about insects...
The lands are full of huge bugs. They have palmetto bugs..which are roaches with wings. They have 80 species of mosquitoes and they have swarming love bugs that attack your car windshield and grill.
These love bugs, like the Burmese pythons and zebra muscles, are an invasive species and not native but from South America; apparently on vacation to visit the theme parks., They are very good at mating but don't last very long as they die within a few days.The hatch, they mate, they perish..and if they are in the path of your car, they go splat.
Overlooking all these inconveniences, three of the best reasons to visit Florida are the ports of call for the cruise ships that take you through the Gulf of Mexico and The Caribbean via the Port of Miami, Port Everglades and Port Canaveral.
