Nope, don't live in a swamp, never going to live up North, and the Real Estate market will be booming by November. We live in paradise. We know the cost: Three hurricanes in 100 years. You buy insurance, and then lock up and go. Knoxville was fun. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Palma Sola just down the beach to the left of this area and hiked to this point which had a pristine white sandy beach and a reef on that point that came into the beach and allowed for clear, calm waters. There was nothing but a coconut plantation where they built that power plant. Now google map shows what happened to that point. At least they made a national park further to the west where we had the best snorkeling. https://www.google.com/maps/@10.5001473,-68.160739,1551m/data=!3m1!1e3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but I will have to take steps to avoid overexposure to the sun...been there, done that...and it ain't fun). And, despites the dangers in Naples Fla. from Hurricanes....that other Naples (Italy) is actually in far more danger. When Vesuvius blows, and it will blow, it will take Naples with it.

Me and Tour visited there before the trek to Miami for the Dolphin's game. Nice enough. Z will have to eventually give me a report on how the place I stayed at (Cove Inn on Naples Bay) fared. Agreed on the 90 degrees, 90% humidity you get in Florida every day in the summer. Was in Tampa in October for the wife's cousin's wedding. It felt like a bad summer July day in Ohio. No thank you. I'm not a hot weather beach kind of guy. My biggest let down in life? Seeing the ocean for the first time. A big SO WHAT? Once you can't see the other side (Lake Erie) doesn't matter if it's 100 or 2,000 miles away. With unlimited resources, Florida November to March and Anchorage in the summer would be my scenario. Florida wimps get their blood thinned out by that constant heat. True story- I was down in the Keys one January for the Winter Star Party, that's astronomy, not Bogie and Bacall. About 2AM thought- it's getting a little cool, maybe I should put on a sweater. Saw two guys from Miami wearing parkas and gloves. Had to restrain a good laugh.

Florida ain't got shit on Houston) the heaviest thing I wore thru the Winter was a fleece lined windbreaker. Natives were in longjohns when it hit 50 deg. Winter #2? I was pretty much with them. The bitch about humidity is that it makes heat hotter and cold more biting... It just ain't fair. Then there's London... I've walked around that city in every season and it's always the same... I end up cold and sweating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
