I like going on vacation to spots that are in the off season; When you go during peak times, the pricing is outrageous, i also try to stay within the US when I go on a trip.
I chose to book a stay in Lakeland, Florida because all those lakes looked gorgeous.
I figured being on a boat or just looking at the water was good enough. I also packed a wetsuit in case I wanted to swim. I booked a vacation that is technically in the winter time season of Florida, but a Florida winter time just wasn’t that bad, but the Lakeland winter time season is absolutely quite mild. I was able to get away with some loose pants, a sweater as well as lightweight layers going underneath. The lakes were gorgeous even when it was brisk outside, but my number one thing to do was wake up when the sun rose, get a cup of Starbucks Coffee as well as just appreciate the scenery from the rental porch. I absolutely liked spending that time early in the day. After a bit I would go for a run through neighborhood to see everything. Then I would eat locally, shop around, as well as find other things to do in Lakeland, Florida. After looking at the weather forecast I am absolutely blissful that I selected going to Florida in the wintertime rather than the summer. The summer time temperatures in Lakeland are just brutal. The heat as well as humidity make it so I would know everyone would stay inside by the a/c. The winter time season absolutely was just so much better for me.
