assistant: To make you feel a little better I used to vacation here with Mom in
   1976, 1982 and 1990 before I moved down here. Events in my life in
   New York City were at their all time low so between her and myself
   we needed a change. Florida wasn't Mom's first choice. She wanted to
   live in Puerto Rico. I gave it a try during our spring vacation and I
   hated it. So we moved here.
   One hint of advice: Go on Wednesdays when it's less crowded and in
   the afternoon around 11am. The crowds thin out by late afternoon.
