No mention of bugs? My dad's folks retired to De Land and we visited a couple of times. I was eaten alive by mosquitoes. All of the bugs were out of 50's sci-fi movies: grasshoppers and "palmetto beetles" as my grandmother called cockroaches. I recall taking a greyhound down to the Kennedy Space Center and seeing spiders on the roadsides, in their webs, between palm trees.
And it's flat.... flat as a pancake. If you read Niven's Ringworld and he describes the vastness and the distant horizon, you get that same sense when looking down the highway in Florida.
Humidity and bugs are what I remember to this day (and seeing one of the Voyagers' launch).
