Been in FL since 1983. Moved to Cape Coral in 1993 and love it here. I lived on the east coast also and loved it there, but it was much cheaper over here back then so we moved. Originally from LI.

Myfamily and I will make settlement on our brand new home in Odessa Saturday July 14th. We leave Philadelphia this Wednesday. I am both excited and scared to death! Mind you, I am not moving under the best circumstances. I am staying until mid August with 2 of my children (daughters) then moving back and renting in Philadelphia so they can graduate...one is going into 8th grade and the other will be a senior in high school...so my family will be divided for one year...it is the absolute worst way to move but my only option since I made a promise that they could graduate from their schools and my house was completed way too soon. However, the summer of 2008 I will finally be a full-time Floridian!

Sounds like you did the right thing. Congrats on being a good mom and keeping a promise to your kids, they will never forget that. There is some highly rated colleges in Fla for your 18 year old to attend ! What made you pick Odessa please?

Floridabound and Kort, thanks for the kind words of encouragement. They mean a lot. As far as how I chose Odessa, I knew I wanted a suburb of Tampa. I like the gulf side of Florida better and did not want to go south because of the potential of more damage due to hurricanes. So I looked at areas Wesley Chapel, Land o Lakes, and Odessa which kind of run one after the other. I liked all 3 areas....very family oriented, beautiful homes, good schools. Ultimately I found a community that I really liked which happened to be in Odessa and that is how I am moving there!

I've lived in this very house in St. Petersburg, FL my entire life (18 1/2 years). I think St. Pete is one of the nicest cities in Florida.
