The humidity in the south gets me. I have heard that the Everglades are fascinating and beautiful.
I'd say that California really is a magnificent state because we have every type of physical geography...desert, mountains, ocean, valleys, and of course the cool temperate forest of the redwoods. And it truly is gorgeous. The major downside is the cost of living, which is outrageous and prohibitive. Traffic aroundand in cities is absolutely horribel. And the state is 800+ miles long, so NorCal and SoCal really do seem to be separate from each other in very many ways.
