    I grew up in Orange County, California in Surf City, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and south to Laguna along PCH.
    My dream is to do the drive your doing from the North then South down to the Keys. Taxes in California are murder which makes Florida REALLY ATTRACTIVE.

      We used to live in HB Teresa! But we couldn’t afford a house there so we moved back to Jersey! The east coast is beautiful, way different from the west but still amazing! Hope you get to do it soon!

    Wow, I loved the drone shots at Juno Beach!! Awesome! Thanks for another great video
    -- but you may have to go back. I was on vacation in Florida, in December 2017 ( first trip anywhere in my adult life in years), and had the opportunity to go to NASA - you need easily 6 - 8 hours, there's so much to see and you won't have a chance to get bored with any of it. Sadly my traveling mates are kinda different -- we never ONCE got to a beach the whole time. How's that for NUTS - coming from 'Rain -couver' as we call it here.
    Hope to someday get back to Florida and check out / enjoy the beaches and charming parks and towns.

    • @MathersOnTheMap
      @MathersOnTheMap  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      More drone shots to come Adrian in the next episode! I know looking back it we definitely did not have enough time and it was too pricey for the little time we had. Crazy you didn’t get on the beach there, it’s beautiful and yes you’ll have to go back!

I’m thinking about doing a road trip down to Florida from Canada looking to go near Sarasota and St Petersburg area planing on going in January. I’m going to sleep in my van for majority of the trip , anyone know if it gets really cold at night where you can’t sleep in the car? I heard January in Florida night time temperatures go down to 10-13 !
