Default Hot, But Bearable

Hello Tomcat, I live in suburban Chicago and visited TV for the first time 2 weeks ago. I deliberately picked July to visit TV because I wanted to see how I would react to the Florida heat/humidity. Yes, it was hot and humid, but I paced myself during the daytime and got around just fine. 2 days ago, the temp. in Chicago reached 94 degrees, and I slogged around downtown Chicago with some friends Friday afternoon to attend an event. My plan is to rent a villa in TV during the summer of 2011 for a week or two to see how things go, as it will be a few years before I can move to TV. For me the thought of not having to deal with snow and ice from December through March outweighs the heat and humidity of Florida in the summer. I've spent 50 winters in the midwest, and I would like to spend my golden years in a place where I don't need to own a snow shovel or a snow brush for my car.
