RAINY DAYS ON VACATION!!!!

VIEW OF THE GRAND FLORIDIAN ON THE WAY TO THE MAGIC KINGDOM

This is what I call picture perfect. However, if you are planning on a vacation to Florida, sometimes you need to be prepared for something more like this.....

RAIN AND WIND AND NEVER ENDING THUNDER AND LIGHTNING!!!

As I sit here this very moment in beautiful sunny South Florida, I am listening to the sounds of thunder and looking out this very same window at the grayish black clouds forming all around. It is approximately 3:30 pm here and I must say this summer it has been particularly wet and humid.

In Florida it is very common to have passing thunder storms throughout the summer and what we call sun showers. You know where it is absolutely beautiful outside and then all of a sudden it pours on you for like ten or fifteen minutes only to be followed by more beautiful sunlight than before!

It is less common to have continuous long lasting down pours day in and day out. This summer we have had our share of never ending rain. Some summers it's so dry they are concerned about the water levels in our hundreds lakes.


The point I'm trying to get at here is when visiting Florida be prepared for rain! Especially in the summer! It doesn't usually ruin a trip just throws a wrench in some plans. So be prepared to change plans when you are visiting our lovely state. Keep an eye on the weather report..... They get it right about half the time. Also keep in mind that it tends to rain in patterns during the summer. What I mean by that is usually the pattern is beautiful hot mornings then an afternoon storm followed by a dry night on the town. Just roll with it you will have a blast.

If you are set on missing the rain completely, well then don't come to Florida! No just kidding our dry season is in the Winter. While that may not be ideal for those looking to come for a summer vacation it is absolutely perfect for those trying to escape those winter storms up north. Almost all of our hotels have pools and the more expensive ones are heated year round to approximately 80 degrees. My favorite temp in or out of the water!

Well I guess that's it for now since I started this blog entry an hour ago and then the power went out right after I typed 80 degrees. I told you the rain has been no joke this year!!! However, that means next year looks promising!
