Going to Florida is great if you like a sub tropical paradise in the USA, weird because I was just in south beach for the first time in years (By this I mean down past 14th and collins) and its so much to me like foreign city lol
I am going to the Turks and Caicos next week and my family thinks im nuts... we have beaches every where here but its not the same when you live here. Yes many live here and go to the beach or bay often to swim, fish and boat, I never really got in to it, if I go to the beach here by day I feel like I should be doing something else.
Also I just put things off, theres no drive to explore.. besides I explored historic overtown yesterday on the way to zak's and I was thankful I carry a gun... historic my tuches.. it has a history of violent crime, I think you tourists will probably explore much more than us locals, we still have the stigma of overtown, liberty city etc
