One of my most enjoyable Florida experiences occurred in the early 1970's. I drove through Haines City and the surrounding area late at night. I had all the windows in my car down and experienced for miles the incredible fragrance of the orange blossoms in the orchards through which the road passed. It was almost intoxicatingly delightful!

I really like the pleasant central Florida accent and manner of speech.
