  No I'm not a Florida guy,
   I mean you guys have some great stuff, I love the Kennedy Space Center. I was a fan of Santibel Island, super place to hide away while on vacation and feel like you were in 1998.. 
   Funny you mention the dry parts of the world too. My spouse complains about the dry too for the same reasons. I love it. I loved live in the Adirondacks during the winders when it would be -39/40F and the air couldn't hold any moisture. Summer might still hit 90 F and so keeping paint on a wooden house was a chore... That's a bit range to flex through. The kitchen cabinets would not stay closed in the summers for the wood swelling and would not say closed in the winter for the wood shrinking! I was a COOP weather observer for the NWS and we fed our data to the Forecasting Office in Albany. They were using us mostly to tune out wind turbines, turns out they were something of an issue for Doppler radar once upon a time. But I'd go out and read the recording thermometer, my rain gauge, snow on the ground and new snow winters and even take snow cores to melt for the liquid equivalent to help predict run off in the springs. We didn't have ticks, too dry, too cold. 
We hardly had earthworms, then again we didn't have much earth, it was mostly sand. We did have black flies and mosquitoes, it wasn't perfect. 

  But I'll take the cold.
