I'm not a fan of Florida.
I know. Blasphemy. My bad.
The thing is, it's flat and it's muggy and it has about a gazillion too many amusement parks. It's just not my ideal vacay spot. Sorry.
I like Disney, but walking around Magic Kingdom in 95* heat, with about 853.92% humidity, buffeted by the 4th of July crowds for twelve hours straight was not enjoyable. If that's the happiest place on earth, than I have doubts as to where this planet is headed.
I don't like breaking a sweat when I stroll a block to get breakfast at 7:30am every morning, and I don't like the way it pours rain every afternoon, yet stays just as hot. I don't like the fact that there are no mountains, no valleys, no variation to the swampy flat landscape as far as I can see in any direction. I don't like that there are amusement parks everywhere, and of every theme and variation you could imagine--too many water parks to count, every movie-based ride imaginable, and even the Holy Land Experience, an entire park based around the Bible. Granted, my visit to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is probably on my list of top-amazing-moments-in-my-life-ever, but that has nothing to do with Orlando and everything to do with a genius British woman and an entire universe that she just randomly thought up.
Sorry, was that a rant? I seem to be very good at those, don't I?
Could you tell that I'm a little homesick? I absolutely cannot wait to get home. Have I mentioned that my mom is an amazing cook? Have I mentioned that it's cool and dry in Switzerland? Have I mentioned that there are these really amazing mountains everywhere? Have I mentioned that I'll be landing in exactly 9 days?
Excited? Me? Noooo.
