I see London, I see France (but not in that order); or, How to Make a French Doctor Blush. Some may say it makes sense to avoid places out of season in bad weather, but where's the fun in that?

I was in Daytona once for a few days during the off season. The weather varied from good to bad, but so long as it's not horrendous every day I kind of like living through a good rain storm on the beach. The area was pretty light on people while I was there at first, but by the end of my stay I was up against a “biker week” so some interesting folks started rolling in. I had beers with a guy who looked like Brett Farve; his wife had a huge tattoo of a bird (an eagle, I think) covering her entire back. Good times.
