im from the north midwest (?) and i go to florida every 2 years because i have A TON of family down there. i love disney world (haha) and the beach and palm trees and all that. i went there last february and it was 10 degrees where i live while it was 80 degrees where i was in florida lol it was awesome. except there are a lot of bad smells there. no matter where you go, theres usually a bad smell. from cigarette smoke, to dead fish, to tar, you can't get away from it.
The only time i've been out of Canada is when I went to the Dominican R. It was so loverly, with all the palm trees and the heat. It was like, 30 degrees C there everyday. One summer, it was 30 Degrees C in Halifax and the heat felt like it could kill you. And the water was still freezing at the beach!
