The Caribbean islands are also a very good approximation of Florida: hot, humid, prone to hurricanes, old people roasting themselves on the beach, but no gators, concentration camps or MAGA governors.

Who'd want an approximation of Florida?
People from New Jersey, mostly
People escaping from a cold winter probably. There's a reason they call certain people snowbirds.
You can do an even better approximation of Florida by just going to Cancun.
hey this is pretty unfair
south america is pretty too
that big wet spot on the map next to the gulf of amerexicoaguela is pretty nice too
We planned to visit Alaska in 2027. Because of current…you know, it turned into a trip through Canada. Which has been my favourite all along. But that year it’s my girlfriend’s turn to decide where we’re going. The US gave me the vacation I wanted. Thanks 👍🏼
A nice trip around the country.
Montreal is great. Stay in the holiday inn in Chinatown. It's close to everything including the transit line, and it's cheap
South America is gorgeous. Maybe just skip us for another decade while we work out shit out
You're gonna be disappointed when you can't find the Monteray Bay Aquarium in Monteray, Mexico. 😔
Monterrey*
Monterey*
Fun fact, Montreal=Monterrey (Royal mountain)
Almost? Royal Mountain vs King Mountain?
And since they had to exist, there is also a Monreale in Italy (Sicily near Palermo) and I counted at least 7 Monrėal in France. Plus a Montreal in Germany, for some reason as well as the expected one in Spain.
It's close enought to ignore the slight difference for the fun of it, right? 7 Montréals in France? Wow, that's wild, thanks for a fun fact!
There were a lot more but then the guillotine was invented :(
That's terayble
Gilead is not open for tourism?
Um, we're changing the name to "Trumpland", obviously.
I don't know Monterrey, but there are a lot of great places in Mexico. Because of the mountains, Mexico has a lot of different climates. Most of them are warm, many are dry, but if you go high enough up some mountains you can find snow. You can go to Mexico for food tourism, IMO the best food in the world. There's also cultural tourism, visiting ancient ruins, or visiting native groups. And of course, beaches, so many lovely beaches.
As for Canada, Montreal is a nice modern city where you can get by in English. Quebec is a more scenic city, but mostly French-only. This time of the year Canada has beautiful trees and it isn't cold yet. (In fact, right now it's high 20s in the day, which is wierd). Vancouver is a fun big city. Victoria is another choice for a smaller and more scenic city on the pacific coast. For museums, art galleries, bike trails, decent hiking nearby, etc. there's also Ottawa. Toronto is a pretty well-known quantity.
Funny you mention mountains, Monterrey has tons of them, and although they have no snow on them, it’s a great place to go if you like the climbing or hiking type of eco-tourism.
Nice, maybe I'll visit one of these days. I love Mexico.
how can you not know the home of the greatest carbonated mineral water on the continent?
The perfect day trip!
Can you pick me up in Mexico?
World Cup plans?
Shoulda gone to Belize.
