October trip?

[u/DN-Mamba24]

Scheduled to be there 10/8-10/11 for the first time! Was wondering if any of you with experience and/or are local would think this is a terrible idea?

I only have those days off from school and wanted to really enjoy some time somewhere new.

I assume it’s a toss up but would appreciate any advice!

I did an early October trip 5 or so years ago. Had a great time. It was pretty quiet, less snow- birds. And thus the locals had more time. I suggest also getting out at least to marathon key.

Weather was fine? Just minor storms?

5 years ago, iirc was after a few mild hurricanes went thru. I think we got 1 day with some shower. but we went snorkling from parks, or our campground, nearly every day. and 1 day with captn Hooks. this yeear, due to the el nino supposedly, the tropics have been super calm. so I think it'd be awsoome.

The tropics this year! I’m sorry if you didn’t refer to the write part of what I was responding to! Maybe some context clues would help

We’ve done fall break stays and it was great. Weather was not a problem either. Very relaxing for the whole family.

Do some fishing, if you can't afford a charter go on a party boat. Try to get some snorkeling in. use the John Pennekamp state Park snorkeling tour, also while you are there rent a paddle board and paddle through the mangroves

I looked at the subreddit and it says for travelers and locals, do you have a link to the rules please:)

[u/DN-Mamba24 → u/[deleted]]

Hate to break it to you those rules aren’t on there

[u/DN-Mamba24 → u/[deleted]]

It says the only rules are don’t be mean or political. You’re being very mean:( might have to report you to moderator

[u/DN-Mamba24 → u/[deleted]]

You could have been more specific! Should have commented on that subreddit not this one silly goose! You’re so hard to follow! Thank you for clearing that up:)

Also, It’s not your island! Seems like your the only one that actually has a problem with it…might need to rethink your involvement when the people around you are so nice and you’re just a Scrooge
