Experience Sunny Florida: Packing Tips for Your Ft Lauderdale Trip

[wadesgirl]

I'm going to Ft Lauderdale in two weeks with my sister and her family :chef::sing: YA! I have never been to Florida or any state east of where I live except for going to Chicago. I see on weather.com that the forecast is for 70-mid 80's. Is that short's weather down there? Capris? Tank-tops? I don't want to over or under pack! I've very excited to get a way for a while!

OMG we LOVED it when we were there 4 years ago. I would think definitely shorts. Make sure you take the Intercoastal waterway taxis--OMG they are soooo cool!!!

Enjoy! I can't imagine NOT living on the east coast, lol! Granted, I am nowhere near FL and we have temps in the low 50's at the moment, but we still have ocean within 30 minutes!Have a great trip!

Hey there - I live in Ft Lauderdale - we are all in shorts & capris here right now. You'll definitely want to pack at least one pair of jeans and one sweater because what non-Floridians don't realize is that we air condition like crazy down here so when you're indoors you FREEZE your buns off, especially in restaurants! Where are you staying?

The Beach Resort (at least that's what my sister told me last night). It's so cold up here right now I'm in layers!

Definately shorts, but pack a sweater! I am from Ft. Lauderdale (moved to TN 3 years ago). Depending on weather at that moment (it is really different all the time) it could also be very humid!! SO beware. Have fun

Totally used to humidity just not this time of year! I have never been any where warm and sandy. I usually go to the woods. My last vacation was three years ago and we stayed in a cabin in Northern Minnesota.
