But it is a moist heat

I am getting ready for my 7th or 8th trip to Florida in less than a year.  It is hard to keep track.  The gate agents at Orlando International Airport know me, they ask when will we see you next?  Being in the south, also known as the swamp, it is a bit humid in Florida at this time of the year, well really any time of the year, but especially this time of the year.  The most recent trip it rained every-day, sometimes more than once.  It is a good thing I am well over four feet tall, or I might have needed a scuba tank.  

So I get on the plane to come home, it is about 5:00 in the afternoon, the rains have passed, it is about 90 degrees and about 99% humidity out.  The warm moist air is being drawn into the plane, passing through the cold air conditioning system.  As a result there is fog billowing out of the overhead vents.  At least I hope it was fog.  The plane did just fine so it must have been fog and not something more sinister or disastrous.  

So have you experienced the swamp in summer?

  2. My first family vacation to Southern Florida was one very hot July. I have no idea why my parents chose that month. Whew! The ocean was like bath water (only slimey). Also, I've been on a couple of flights where fog appeared. Very creepy.

  3. I usually go to FL in late winter or early spring to miss the worst of it, can't say I've been down in the heat of mid-summer.

    But to be fair, we both know that the worst of DC summers can rival those in the South.

  5. Yes. Our second home is in a beach town on the panhandle. I love it there. The people are great. Not sure what Ann Marie...probably yankee tourists.
