View Full Version : Florida here I come...
Florida here I come... leaving tomorrow morning.
...vacation at last- 3 days with sand sea and sun! My wife's uncle has a rental condo at Fort Walton and invited us down for an end of summer vacation for free(ish). Then it's off to Tallahassee to visit in-laws for a couple days.
Anyone know of any good things to do/see in the Fort Walton area- any recommendations?
I was there about 10 years ago but haven't been in forever. It'll be good to be back.
Oh... and I will have internet access so I will try and stay in touch with everyone- can't leave AC behind.

last time i was in FL i remember there being a whole lot of nice things to see at the beach:lipssealedsmilie::lipssealedsmilie:
Yes, although that depends which beach you go to and at what time of year... :) Some beaches are better than others.
Last time I was at Ft. Walton they had just opened up their aquarium there... wasn't a huge one but I remember it had a fairly nice show- wonder if they've expanded it any.

I always tell everyone the best thing to do in hot/humid Florida is to leave :) Have a great time.

It's not going to be any hotter/humid than South Carolina gets during the summer... upper 80's/lower 90's is what the weather forecast is calling for during our trip.
... scattered thunderstoms here and there too each day- although I'm told not to worry they pass quickly. We went to Tallahassee/Tampa back early spring and got lots of rain! :(

I am sure you can expect a 5 minute downpour everyday sometime in the afternoon, just another one of Florida's lovely attributes.

I was there in april.. thunderstorms and rain (tornado warnings) but they storms are shortlived.
it was pleasant at 70-80 when back at home it was a cool 60 on a good day.
the reverse could be said when I was there in July(end) 80-90 some rain... but compared to the heat wave we had in Washington.. an unusual 100 for the week I was in Fla.
