Compared to Egypt I think Florida is hotter. The temps may be near each other but its the humidity that makes it soo bad, and both Andrea and I live so close to the coast that I think the humidity is actually worse than being inland. I have friends visiting from Wyoming and we just came from Disney, I thought they were going to die from the heat :rofl:

If you're coming from someplace warm then you're acclimated to the heat and there isn't much of a difference.

Was stationed at Tampa twice. First time I couldn't walk out in the heat and humidity. Second time was a little easier.

Was a beautiful area, but no way would I live in that humidity again. Loved the seafood !!

yeah Luxor may have a higher temperature, but Florida has horrible humidity. We are talking about breathing water here!!!

Even my husband says that it's worse here because the air is so dense. Makes you sweat if you don't have the a/c blowing right on ya!

Just you wait and see HG, you don't know hot until you get to Florida!!:lol:

You really live there? I didn't know that. That's our first choice right now if we're going to move in a couple of months because it has the best options for us on several levels. I flew into there in 2000 for New Year's Eve on my way to Washington D.C. We went to the Hard Rock Cafe and the World Trade Center Institute in Baltimore. I don't know what it's called anymore but it's a nice area. Driving around Johns Hopkins we had kind of a scary experience in one neighborhood when we took a wrong turn. After that I didn't ever want to go back there, especially not to live. However, both of my SIL's said it has changed a lot in the 10 years since I've been there and it's developed a lot. One of them mentioned an area called Federal Hill that is really nice.

Why is it called the butthole of America though? :unsure:

I was born and raised there! And don't get me wrong, when I call it the butthole of America- I refer to areas like the one you came across near Hopkins. There are a lot of really nice areas in Baltimore, Federal Hill, Canton, Mount Vernon are all great. There's a very tolerent, mixed community of people in Baltimore, and no matter where in the world I move, I ALWAYS end up coming back :) Let us know if you do decide to move there, we'll all go out for crabs one night! :D

I live in Rockwell City, Iowa. I am about 4 hours give or take from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. I know this because my sister lives up there and I was just up there in June! Wish I would have known then, it would have been so nice to meet someone who knows the pains of going through this mess of paperwork.
