Stay in, of course. Or at least, only go from a heated home, to a heated car, to a heated destination. So, flip that 180 degrees. If it's too hot, stay in. Go from your air conditioned home, to an air conditioned car, to an air conditioned destination. And then, in winter, when your friends back north are shoveling snow, you can shake your head and wonder why it took so long to decide to move.
Great post!
I have lived in FLA 20 years and still not a fan of Summer.
We do exactly what you are saying - stay in when it is really hot.

What makes a huge difference is closing in and air conditioning our lanai.

Also getting up earlier to do activities in the morning.

My project this Summer is to clean out & organize my house.
At least it will be cool!
