If you ever do get to Europe - my advice: go down to the Mediterranean -
its colors are *beautiful* - 3 shades of aqua/turquoise. So-o-o-o
soothing to just look at... I hadn't realized how gorgeous it was going
to be (I was in Nice, & along the coast to Monaco). Rivals Bermuda's
waters, & those I've seen in pics of the Caribbean. I was there in
mid-April - sunny, but not hot - just right (IMO): mid-70's.

Well, if we get stationed in Europe, we'll be there for all seasons, but
I doubt there is anyplace in Europe that's more miserably hot than
Florida's climate. Cold doesn't faze me at all - I love it!


Hot we can do. It's just not so miserably humid ... Oh, and most of Europe
has only just heard the words 'air conditioner', so you better be able to
do hot with no relief ! British Summers, when we get a good one, are
really pleasant. Temperature 70 to 80. Clear blue skies. Gentle south
westerly breeze, not too much humidity. Sometimes though, it can be very
rainy for weeks on end. Last year was a good example of that. The weather
can be very variable also. Because it is a relatively small island, a
change of wind direction can alter the temperature by 20 degrees in a day,
and it can go from a bright clear morning to a dull, heavy and overcast
afternoon, with threatening thunderheads, in the space of a couple of
hours - bit like Florida, really !!

But I also love rain, so that works, too.

I was definitely born into the *wrong* climate.
