Living my whole life in the south, I always heard people explain that the fantasy of perfectly warm weather year round would actually bore everyone.
The idea was we'd miss the variety...we would long to have winter again if we lost it, even though we only complain about it now. This reasoning made sense but never kept me from wanting to say, "Yes...but I wish we could try it just to be sure!"
Before I left the south to move south of the border, I of course read about the weather in Copan. That helped me with having a clue about what to expect and how to pack.
