Vallerina 2 #27 February 28, 2005 QuoteSounds like soemeone had a bad experience! No, I just don't like Florida! It's too hot, humid, touristy, and there's not much there to do other than jump.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crutch 0 #29 February 28, 2005 Let's see, all sorts of boating activities, surf, sun, scuba and of course skydiving! I think you must be hanging out with the wrong people when you are down here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you must be hanging out with the wrong people when you are down here! It's too damn humid to enjoy that stuff in FL. I spent 10 days down in the Keys hiking, snorkelling, etc. There were too many bugs, it was too hot/humid, and I've seen more interesting sea creatures elsewhere.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 67 #31 February 28, 2005 It did take me a few years to get used to the weather hear but it is nice to have several drop zones within 2 hours drive and several beaches close by and oh yeah we never have snow and iceYou can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

jumpingbean001 0 #32 February 28, 2005 Oh well, not ready to trade running around in shorts working on my tan in January for the white stuff and no sun for weeks on end! We drink down here because we are happy, ya'll drink up there because ya'll are miserable with no sun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #36 February 28, 2005 She has actually stayed in a tent in the zhills parking lot while playing in the area. She's just hoping that we'll invite her back. Tent camping is good in the cooler months. Less humidity and fewer bugs. The summer is pretty punishing though. I grew up in a house in Fl with no a/c and I am a firm believer in it when summer comes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

divnswoop 0 #39 February 28, 2005 Quote I would gladly take a half day when the weather is good It would have to be early, the tandems are for 10 I found out today. But I'm sure we can round up enough people in the afternoon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #40 February 28, 2005 Shawn, on the Newark thing look me up when you are back. I also might know of a DZ nearby that might be interested in you if you want to drive 15 minutes to do tandems Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

missg8tordivr 0 #42 February 28, 2005 I am sure that there a lots of people that would love to get out there on Thursday since we didn't have a good weekend. I am going to email and call some people to see if they are interested....so, don't think that it will be a problem to get people out. Looking like it may be a whole day off....my throat is feeling a little scratchy *** F LORIDA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyskydiver 0 #45 February 28, 2005 I love rainstorms. Very enjoyable for me. Now, I'm not talking the rain storms from hurricanes (I got out of Florida before them).

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #47 February 28, 2005 I do not want to bash Florida, although I really am happiest living in Southern California myself. I have more than enough sun, surf, beautiful scenery, great DZs, tunnel, etc. etc. etc. at home. Yet, the people that I have met so far from Florida are such lovely people. I really get along quite well with them and have enjoyed visiting Florida for that reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Ncrowe 0 #48 February 28, 2005 Yeah Florida suck, one time this winter it got down to 58 degrees at night and I had to put a long sleeve shirt on......I was pissed for a week "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Stacy 0 #49 February 28, 2005 I love florida too. I can go kayaking in the mangroves, scuba diving in reefs better than what I saw in Cozumel and *dive destinations*, swim with manatees, rays, and huge turtles, throw a rock and hit a turbine DZ, go to the beach at any minute... there's bad weather anywhere you can live. We have a lot less days here that are totally washed out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites white_falcon 0 #50 February 28, 2005 Yep, I totally agree. They ran at least 12 loads out of our DZ Sat. We HAD to wear long pants, and t shirts (it was so dam cold). In the summer time, it does get SOO hot, u must go to the beach or the lake, or maybe leave the door open on the plane, that really sux. Then, in the FALL, well, you MUST turn your A/C off and leave the windows open all day and nite, and this just isnt right either. Oh, and well i guess you HAVE too go jump, every weekend too. arrrrrgh Then comes winter, and it just gets SOOOOO cold. U know I remember ONE day this past December it was 19 when I got up at 6am, and damned if it wasnt 70 by 2pm so, we decided to go jump. Now, we got spring coming up, and dang it, its gonna be MISERABLE. Mornings will be in the upper 50's to mid 60's and afternoons will be around 80, sooo, i guess I'll HAVE to drag mmyself to the DZ to see What jumping in the spring is all about, I cant imagine it will be much fun. So since it is SOOOOO awful down here (for skydivin' and everything else) all you folks up north just stay there!!! And all you Florida people, SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Don't let them know how good we have it, we get enuff of them dam people from up north clogging up our streets as it is.
