When I was a kid (the 1980's) we used to go there around that time, but we would also rent a car. Now we couldn't choose the car, so a lot of the time it would have VINYL seats which would bake in the hot Florida sun all morning. When it was time to go to the theme parks (in our short shorts which the adults dressed us up in) we would fight over who was getting in first. A lot of scorched thighs.

I'm from Charleston, SC, which is close to Florida. The southeast US is hot and humid, but we get used to it. But, the winters are mild, which I love. Gators live in the SE us from South Carolina down to Florida and west to Louisiana and Texas. Just assume all fresh water may have alligators. Respect their space and you won't have any problems. I have several gators that live in a pond behind my house and we never had major problems.

It's not so much the heat in Florida that gets to me, I'm used to pretty hot summers in Southern California. It's the insane humidity! Between the influence of being on the Gulf coast and all the swampy areas, the humidity is ridiculous! And that makes it feel so much hotter (and, as you noted, "heavy"). Another effect of it is that when you come out of an air conditioned building into the hot, humid outside air, my glasses (cooled by the A/C inside) immediately fogged up!

Bonjour Marie! Yes, visiting Florida in the Summer is THE WORST! LOL! It's not so much the heat as it is the humidity. For instance, Arizona is HOT but it's a "dry heat" so it may feel hotter but not heavier. We get high humidity here in Michigan in the Summers (likely due to the Great Lakes,) and I suppose 80F (27C) and 90% (or higher) humidity in Michigan and in Florida shouldn't feel all that different, but it always does feel "steamier" there (maybe due to proximity to the Equator?)

They're mimicking behavior you'd see in the wild. It's a symbiotic relationship where the gators at times do eat the birds, as well as catching a snack that falls from trees. Meanwhile the birds get the protection from other predators, such as raccoons etc., as the gators provide. Basically acting as a natural security guard.

Anyway, I think it's fantastic that you're having so much fun and getting out to see so many amazing places. I have to give you credit.

Hey Marie 😃 🌅 🐊 Bringing in the New Year with rays of sunshine to keep the winter blues at bay. Woah!! It's a Gators paradise , how amazing that it's grown from just a roadside attraction to wot it is now that's American ingenuity at it's best. It's wild that there's so many , something to see how still they are one moment & snap so suddenly the next , good thing there well fed , they've got it made. You didn't seem phased a bit , I guess if you were moving there your soon get used to them roaming around basking , in neighbours swimming pools & under trucks , anyway you can always call a wrangler to tape their noozle up & safely release them. Maybe you've seen how much some people like wrestling Gators like it's their hobby , Mike Dragich , a veteran & MMA fighter back in may near an elementary school comes to mind. You could've volunteered as a rookie at the park tackling them to( check out solo travel girl ' Jennifer A Huber ' from 2015 ) but knowing your sweet nature you wouldn't want to pester or harm them. It's unexpected & interesting to come across any albinos , it doesn't seem like there bullyed like other (herd) animals in the wild. It's cute seeing the little 🐢 turtle face ( hopefully yours is doing okay out of the cold) the baby alligators chillin & they'll be let loose before too long. It's awesome that there's a Croc named Dundee , he looks like a old timer , how can you tell , thankfully he'll never meet the same fate as Mick's 👢 It's funny how the 🦝 sure do get around never letting anything go to waste. I like that it's also family friendly so kids can over come any fears. It was definitely worth checking out , I'm glad theirs such sanctuary's free from those who Hunt them for profit , with over 1.3 million they wont be disappearing anytime soon , after all they did survive that asteroid along with birds that wiped out most of the dinosaurs. Yeah! Mustang spotting , looks like the dream one you've after. Florida's so cool for cruising & showing off , theirs a buzz in the air living there that charges you up . When your stateside again you should check out Buc- ees , it comes highly recommended , I wanna buy you one of their marvelous 🧢 for your collection. Ahoy 💣🏴☠️ Yo , ho , ho & a bottle of rum , the high seas are where me Heart - y it be A Swashbuckling life Galore for me , Arrgh ! How Spectacular , the dramatic music & lighting really set the scene , the high rolling acrobat's were so enjoyable , what more could you want , a show that had it all even a fiery dragon & a gorgeous 🧜 , it's great that you all got to join in to. All the food looked yummy enough , they need to include some themed flag chocolate cake , spicy cannon meat balls , fruit ships & where are the biscuits that pirates always eat , that would probably cost more, i don't know if they served any grog , you can always make your own pirate punch cocktails if your having a dress up party with the same vibe at home. Let the good times roll , another wonderful trip I'm glad you'll discovered more of what Florida 🛣️ has to offer & theirs going to be more happy memories to come. On a extra note , I recently found out about the health cardiovascular benefits ( spike proteins) of Japanese Nattokinas , try adding it to your diet , it's in the health , beauty & well being section 📍or just look up global healing & the wellness company yourself. Merci beaucoup including the recent Facebook yummy cholat 🥐 pics , green really suits you , fare thee well Marie lass , fair winds , God bless my matey 🤗 💫 🧡✌️
