We got frozen out by air conditioners on our topical vacation.
My husband gives the most amazing gifts. For Christmas last year, he surprised me with a weeklong tropical vacation to a popular tourist destination. We had a great time. The weather was nice enough to swim at the beach and in the motel pool, but not so hot as to make it uncomfortable or really to need the air conditioning. I really enjoyed the weather and preferred to have the motel air conditioner turned on fan most of the time, but some of those businesses there will freeze you out. They have the best air conditioning systems in these touristy tropical locations. As soon as you enter a building, any building, you are hit with a blast of icy cold air. We went out of our way to choose restaurants that offered outdoor dining and outdoor shopping arenas because of this, and fortunately we found plenty. I kept a sweatshirt in the rental car specifically for our shopping and dining experiences. I just couldn’t believe some of those places were so cold. Why couldn’t people just enjoy the nice warm temperatures? I understand that some people think 80 degrees is hot, but they are few and far between, I would think. Most people are dealing with ice and snow that time of year. I didn’t leave the cold, snowy north to freeze out in a tropical location. But, it was okay, because we spent most of our time outside, at the beach, canoeing, and strolling the boardwalks. It was a really nice vacation and an amazing gift.
