floridas hurricanes

[daxon]

We were there this year for Charlie & Frances - certainly wouldnt put us off, in fact im afraid the children described hurricanes as "boring"!

We were there for Jeanne and it didn't spoil our holiday one iota. We just treated it as an experience and made the most of it. The only rain we had that I saw was on the day of the Hurricane. Temp. were real high, went to the beach and came home with a great tan. On the negative side was when we arrived and I saw the damage that the previous Hurricanes had done, trees, roofs etc. made me upset for those whose homes it was, thank god these occurences like this are very rare. What was impressive was the spirit of those that live here, just get stuck in, deal with and help others.

I have been going to Florida since 1983, mostly during the summer months and this was the first year we went through a hurricane (Charlie), it has not put me off going - and as for summer being too hot and crowded - I don't know what all the fuss is about, Florida is unbeatable at any time of year!!![msnwink]
