Stepping off the plane in Miami ? ? ?

[darchibald]

Hello,

I was born in Florida many moons ago and moved to California at age 6 and

have been here ever since. I have been in California for 32 years now. I know

about the heat and humidity in Florida, but what should I expect when getting

off of the plane or should I say, leaving the airport? Will we be sweating like

a stuck pig? Bring losts of t-shirts and shorts for our cruise on Majesty,

November 15?

Thanks.

:confused:

David - We're practically neighbors - we live in Modesto. I'll be waiting to read a review of your cruise when you get back. Have a great time - kick back, relax, and enjoy the sun. Lord knows around here we don't get a whole lot of that in the winter - the "blanket" is pretty thick for a couple of months.

We've made FL a vacation spot for the last few years in late November and early December. Yes it is humid but the temps tend to be tolerable and there is generally a nice breeze. With the breeze and the humidity, it makes if feel a little cooler IMO.

 

No, I don't think you'll be sweating like a stuck pig but you will notice the difference when you step off the plane. I can't speak for Miami's airport but Fort Lauderdale and West Palm's airports don't keep it cool enough inside. With no air movement it gets a little to warm and humid in the terminal IMO.

Hello Dave & Jill,

Yes, we are practically neighbors. I am assuming that the weather is

the same in Modesto and it is here in Merced. Just went shopping tonight

for shorts and shirts and found some great deals. The only thing left to

purchase is a tie and belt. We are looking forward to our first cruise and

think it will be fun. I do however hate the preparation because I know that

we will forget something.

Let me know how your cruise was and I will do the same with ours. Hope you

have a wonderful time.

:)

By mid-November, much of the heat and humidity have greatly dissapated. Yes, it's still humid and warm, but you wont be "sweating like a pig" unless you are overdressed.

 

It will probably be in the high 70's or low 80's with moderate humidity. Not the mid-90's with 100% humidity of the summer months.

 

Dress in layers for the plane so you can be in a short sleeved top when you leave the plane and you'll be quite comfortable.

BTW, pigs don't sweat. :D

Don't know about the 15th but it is cool and dry here in Fla. this morning. Absolutely beautiful. Humidity is low and the sun is shining. Supposed to last at least thru the week.
