FLORIDA INFO PLEASE

[Peyton Manning]

If a guy was looking into a trip to florida about the middle of february
how far down would he have to go to get average temps during the day to be on the beach in shorts and tshirt?
my first wife said she wants a vacation in winter
does the east or west coast make a difference in air temp?

Depends... Tampa bay area (mid state) or lower... depending on weeks out forecasts... if gonna be chilly... and that's a relative term for I do not know what is considered chilly to you... but anyway... if gonna be chilly in mid state... then drop down to BigwaveDaves part of Florida... Fort Meyers area.

[BigWaveDave]

I dare you to come to Ft.Myers.

dave just an FYI, I am old school be careful of daring me

am I correct about all the private beaches?

 

[Mudflap]

Clearwater or south should be ok. Most of the red tide still is north of Sarasosta so check that out. You can get a flight from most cities to FL for $230 or so round trip.

Red Tide - Statewide Status

As of Dec 23 looks like the Red Tide is pretty much Sarasota and north>>
"Over the past week, Karenia brevis was observed in background to high concentrations in seven samples collected from Pinellas County; background to high concentrations in six samples collected from Manatee County; background to medium concentrations in twenty samples collected from Sarasota County" FL State Rpt.

When you are here, please try to blend in with the rest of our northern visitors.

1. Drive in the left lane 10mph slower that the posted limit, with your right turn signal constantly on.

2. When the light turns green, count to ten, then very slowly pull forward.

3. When a pedestrian is within 500' of the intersection, stop and wait. The walker will eventually get to the intersection, and probably cross the other way, but just wait, you can't be too careful.

4. Put a stupid B*** S*** Service Dog jacket on Muffin, take Muffin everywhere, pissing off people across a wide spectrum from banks to restaurants.

5. Create a lengthy line everywhere from the post office to the grocery store. When it's your turn to finally pay, after going over the entire receipt again, act surprised as you try figure out where you may have left your wallet.

6. When backing from a parking space, simply hit the horn twice and come on back. What ever was there can see your blue hair and is getting out of the way.

7. Believe, firmly believe, really really believe that a perfect stranger cares about your medical issues and what that wayward grandkid up north did this time.

8. Stare are your excessively loud and obnoxious ringtone in utter disbelief that the damn thing is actually making that racket, and then try to figure out how to make it stop.

...and on a peaceful note- I'll pray for an early spring.

I am not aware of any private beaches here in Lee County....
There might be some condos on Sanibel that get huffy with their perimeters....but none that I specifically know of.
Lovers Key State park is detectable, just not in the water.
Aside from that, I know where the old dirt is, if you want to pull some old coins and stuff.
I double dare you.

Decided to return to north myrtle beach again
So feb 18-25 if you are near cherry beach? I can meet you
