Just thought of a super advantage....

People like Oceandreams who just moved to Fla. and so many others on this board being so excited to move to Florida and when they get there and love it, you can see the happiness in the words they type.

Now that is an advantage... that you wont find in many others states if any at all.

The smiles! When we first moved here that was what REALLY got us....! People seemed to be happy here. But the items I love the most:
1) PALM TREES
2) THE DEEPEST BLUE SKIES
3) GOING OUT ON NEW YEAR"S EVE IN MY PJ'S ON THE DRIVEWAY and GAZING AT THE STARS AND NOT FREEZE!!! (and remembering all our friends up north scraping the ice off of their cars!!...and how grateful we SHOULD BE!)
4) GOBS OF BIRDS!!!! SINGING ONES!!!!
5) ALL THE COOL CLOTHES - SUMMER WEAR IN FEB!
6) OH and one more item that was fun when we first moved here, in JAN and FEB seeing the LAWN MOWER and WEED WACKER SALES in the SUNDAY PAPER (HDEPOT, LOWES, etc) WHAT FUN!!!

i always hated leaving florida when on vacation. Most of my life i wanted to move to florida, esp. when it was below 30 degrees. When i moved here, i crossed the state line, let out a huge "yah-hoo" and felt an incredible rush of excitement- i am finally here.

Advantages:
Waking up in the middle of winter to a beautiful, sunny 75 degree day with a smile on my face. Putting shorts and tank top on and going on a short bicycle ride to the beach, seeing the beautiful lush green plant life, the amazing wildlife, the beautiful intercostal and ocean.
Honestly, if you offered me free rent somewhere else, i still would not move. (except for hawaii of course)

I would like to be a bird perched in a Palm Tree to see people when the cross the state line, its an awesome feeling..... Again, who yells yahoo and gets a rush of excitement for any other state, none I can think of....

Another advantage told by a Floridian...

Thank you.....

I went out to the pool today with my daughter at 3 in the afternoon, I got a little pink but no burn.

The water was wonderful and we had fun playing and I also got to talk to some of my neighbors...it was an idyllic day...

We have some chores to do but then we will go and relax at the pool afterward.

The wonderful thing about Florida is I can do this until probably November with little or no concern for the water being too cold.

I have been to the Disney waterparks where the water is heated in January. I took a picture of my daughter in the wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon and titled it "January in Florida, wish you were here" and sent it too all my friends in cold places...hehe.

How great it is to go buy your Christmas Tree in shorts and tshirt. Love that. Have your Thanksgiving dinner out by the pool.

I have been here since the early 80's and still love FL.
