Most of the time, I am happy to be out of Florida. It's hot, humid, and way too built up for me. However, I did spend the first seven years of my adult life there, and I do have a few things that I really miss.
10. TREES
Seems like a silly thing to miss, but I love trees, and there are a few in Florida that you don't see in either of the other two places I've lived - NY and NC. The golden rain trees, which apparently, aren't even supposed to be planted in Florida - and all those tall pine trees. I just love how they sound with the wind blowing through them.
9. SUNSETS
Florida sunsets are waaaaay more beautiful than anywhere else.
8. WJRR/RealRock101one
7. GATORS DOCKSIDE
I love wings and this place makes 'em GOOD. Hot garlic and the teriyaki are both great.
6. Mt. Dora
A cute, charming place in Lake County. Always reminded me of where I grew up in NY. Lots of antique shops, B&Bs...my favorite place to go and just walk around.
5. PUBLIX
The best supermarket EVER! The best diapers, tea, everything. I even emailed their corporate people to find out if they had any plans to expand into the NC market, but no luck! Maybe someday they'll change their mind.
4. THUNDERSTORMS
Another thing that's sooo much better in Florida.
3. UCF
So many good things to say about this institution. Light years ahead of where I work and go to school now.
2. TIJUANA FLATS
My most favorite place to eat. Burritos, tacos - you name it. Go to the hot bar and try out different sauces. It's casual, inexpensive, and YUMMY. Still waiting for this one to make an appearance in NC. Honestly, if I had the money to do it, I would open my own here.
1. FRIENDS/FAMILY
By far the most important to me, my friends and family are what I miss the very most about Florida. You were the hardest for me to leave behind, and I'm always looking for excuses to come and visit. My door is always open too!

If I had to leave FL, I'd go to NC though.
You have less hurricanes.....
See you soon.
