Onmyown - I don't think I could stand a summer in Florida with that heat. I was in Panama City this past January and it was somewhere in the high 90s with 95 percent humidity and I thought I was going to die. Now, granted I was into heavy drinking at that time and was likely hungover. I couldn't get over how the residents there were running around in jeans and shirts, frolicking, playing basketball, and I was like a wilted flower (in billowy cotton clothes). I was drinking water, while walking (we were on a walking tour...sheesh) but I do recall drinking a beer. I know I was never so glad to get back on that air conditioned bus and back to the ship.
How I wish now that I was sober when I went on that trip - I might remember it better. It was a cruise through the Panama Canal, and it was just one big drunk and floating buffet for me. I cringe when I look at the pictures of me - what a mess.
