The streets at Tropic Winds are 1/10 of a mile long. One day, I literally "rode the wind" from one end to the other. Pedaling and pushing back to my starting point was enough to exhaust me for the rest of the day. In addition to no awnings, you also have no picnic tables, ergo no eating outside -- and definitely forget about relaxing outside with a book in one hand and a beer in the other. Those days will be few and far between.
The winter we went to Texas wasn't all bad (excessive wind). The last month of
that winter was great -- We left the RGV early and went to SW Florida!
