It was "chilly" in Florida when I went to visit this last weekend. I have to refrain from using the word "cold" because I still live in Utah and this would be blasphemous and strange and well rather pansy of me. Eric says it all the time... he's a true Floridian. Lessons learned from this last trip:
1. Flying Delta out of Ft Lauderdale on a "very high volume" holiday like President's Day means you should get to the airport two and a half hours before your flight leaves... even if all you have to do is get your boarding pass
2. Don't underestimate public transportation... my airport shuttle, Tri-Rail train, and Boca Raton shuttle was only 30 minutes slower than driving in awful I-95 traffic. I'd take an extra thirty minutes reading on a train than having to be on that road from more than an hour during the day. Much less stress and cost less then the gas to drive.
3. Even this time of year condensation forms on the INSIDE of our windows overnight.
4. Watching well seasoned athletes put their dreams and hours of hard work on the line for tenths of a second/point while eating a bag of Utz sour cream and onion potato chips is a fabulous way to wait out late afternoon thunderstorm.
5. Delray Beach has a garlic festival...
6.
