OK, so the internet is still playing up. A lot. Gmail isn't working at all, and LJ is extremely spotty.

So I shall cross my fingers and toes and hope that this posts. And try to reply to people - but if I don't, then this is why.

Oh and IF it does, is there anyone out there who might be able to tell me what Florida is like? As a tourist, I mean. (For fic purposes. No need for indepth descriptions, but what are the things that stand out? Weather/food/places of interest/local customs/etc.)

Miami for great Cuban food and nightclubs.

The "Parrot Jungle" is a very silly place with trained parrot acts. I went as a very small child and then again, very nostalgically, with my father as an adult. Goofy.

I don't recall the name now but there is a replica Venician villa somewhere near Miami. Beautiful grounds, gift shop. Someone had too much money.

Beaches, of course, but depending on the season. In summer, Florida is VERY hot and humid. People stay in air conditioning during the heat of the day. Noonday sun and all that. Or are you writing mad Englishmen? *s*

The Florida Keys, which I've never been to (one usually gets there by a small plane), are reputed to be both beautiful and appealingly Bohemian.

Swamp tours to see alligators.
