Hi  everyone, I was giving serious consideration to attending the 2009 CORSA  
Convention. The last CORSA convention I attended was in Portland Oregon a  
couple of years back. So it's probably time to attend another. However  
attending a CORSA Convention for me means International Travel (14 hour flight  from 
Australia to the west coast of the U.S.A.) before then flying  domestically 
from LAX to Florida. So its quite a large 'financial investment.  Nevertheless If 
I want to mix with my fellow CORSA members then there is no  real 
alternative. My concern is the weather in Florida in July. I have visited  Florida may 
times but my visits have always been during winter and even then  the weather 
was quite hot. I understand that during summer Florida experiences  daily 
temperatures of 85+ fahrenheit and afternoon thunder storms occur almost  every day, 
making conditions very humid, sticky and uncomfortable. Of even  greater 
concern is that some days these thunderstorms go on for hours with a  lot
of lightning. With this weather and my general dislike of hot  weather I do 
wonder if perhaps I should wait for 2010 to attend my next CORSA  Convention. 
Some how the idea of sitting in or driving a Corvair with original  vinyl 
upholstery and no air conditioning in the likely Florida heat and  humidity does 
not seem appealing. What's everyone's opinion on the above?  Regards Carl L.

I don't much like Florida weather either--you should have attended the 2008  
convention in Ventura, CA.--but surely it's no worse than the weather in 
Cairns  or Port Douglas, no? Or maybe Darwin or Broome?
