Mountain clothes??? Not sure what those are exactly, but you realize you could probably run naked in Florida at this time of year and still be hot, lol!

I mean my masses of clothes are in a huuuuuge pile, like a mountain, and won't fit in my suitcase!

Tee hee, yes, I do believe we'll experience some serious heat and humidity. I heard we'll also get some pretty dramatic storms. It'll be an experience, anyway!

ETA: Thanks Jenna!

You are definitely brave - I`m a "cold person" and even the 80 degree weather here has me running for the AC!
But that`s exciting that you`ll be spending a good amount of time here, especially in beautiful Florida. I stayed in West Palm Beach with a few friends last year during May, and my family used to have a winter house near Melbourne when I was younger, and it is definitely a whole different lifestyle than here in NY. Always made it interesting to go down there.
If I remember correctly, Ft. Meyers would be about on the other side of the state from West Palm, so unless you are in the mood for a long drive in the heat I have no recommendations for you as far as interesting things to do, lol. Have a good time!

Ft. Myers is about two and a half hours South of me, so unfortunately I don't have any ideas for you, and no way of driving that far to meet you!

Hope you have fun, and no Freedom, not all of us Floridians like the heat just fine.

I've been here almost 21 years and still hate the heat!

I've been to Sanibel Island before. The beaches are absolutely beautiful! Hope you have a great time in Florida, Zara. I still say you should come to NJ and go to Six Flags, it's fun.

I've been here for 50 years and I ditto that last statement, Kay. The heat is brutal and relentless. AC is our best friend

Have fun, Zara, and stay cool.

I stay inside as much as possible or in the pool. The heat and humidity are relentless! I hope you enjoy your visit here. You'll be far from me, as well. However, if you make it to Disney World, I'll be about an hour away. The only day I could consider driving down to Ft Meyers would be Wednesday. I'm off the weekend too, if you're here that long. Have a great time!
