Winter 2011 was not nearly as bad in Maryland when compared to the year before, 6 inches to nearly 4 feet of snow. But it terms of rainfall and severe weather incidents, 2011 is shaping up to be the worst I have experienced in years. Despite some warm days, the cold doesn't seem to want to end. I do find myself looking forward to what could possibly be a very humid and warm July vacation in Florida.
Florida was not our first choice. Myrtle Beach in North Carolina was the preferred venue. But the difficulty of finding a reasonably priced place to stay (At least for families) made the switch necessary. The continuing increase in the price of gas may end up costing us just as much as if we went to Myrtle Beach instead.
So what is in store for us in Orlando this year. Another Disney trip you say? I don't think so. We love Disney and I am sure that some of our companions will be visiting Mickey but most of us will head on to Seaworld, Daytona Beach and maybe visit a few friends, and a couple of impromptu activities. Anything we can fit into that one short week in July.
