Can't wait to leave Miami!!!

I've been living in Miami for 13 years and I can't wait to leave here. My issues with Miami:
1). The weather. I HATE HATE HATE heat and humidity and that's all I get here. If you like lots of sunny days and high humidity constantly, then Miami is for you. But for me, no way!
2). The job market. I haven't been working for nearly 5 months now and I've been searching and applying anywhere that will allow me to. I say that because MOST to all jobs say you have to speak Spanish to apply. Yes, the majority of the people here are Hispanics. I skip more than 20 job postings per day (that I'm fully qualified for) just because I don't speak Spanish. Even simple office jobs say you must speak Spanish to apply. Ugh!
3). Recreation. I honestly don't see the hype about Miami. There's nothing to do here. Sure, there's the beach and some museums. Other than that, NOTHING!
Note: Whether you have a family, single or married and planning on moving to FL, your best bet is Orlando. It's full of theme parks and lots of recreations, low crimes, people are nice and best of all, they drive better than Miamians.
