One More Week!!!!
Well, I never thought I would move back to Florida, but I sure am. I really didn't think I would miss it, but I do.
I forgot how rediculously cold it gets up here in New England. Right now it is 3 degrees with a wind chill of -15. No thanks.
Christmas was nice, it was white. Then the fun stopped with storm after storm, ICE, COLD!!! I began daydreaming about sun, grilling out, windows down in the car with the music up, sunglasses, Fort Myers beach... I realized that my dream of moving back to New England was not what I wanted. I have been, FLORIDAIZED!!! I can no longer deal with cold, snow, scraping windows, sitting in the car freezing to warm it up. I can go on and on.
Next week as of tomorrow morning I will be sitting in my Penske truck on my way back to Cape Coral, Florida, to get back into my Florida lifestyle... I'm going to the beach, digging my feet in the sand and sipping an iced tea, while I watch my daughter play on the beach. Even she was happy to go back, the fun in the snow lasted a month for her. An 8 year old saying "Dad, I want to go back to Florida it's too cold here, I don't like Snow anymore", was one of the last straws. She is right.
So here is another one coming back... TO STAY!!!!!!!!!! Save some sun for me!

Congrats backtoFLgo !
I noticed this trends several months ago and started a thread on it. I see it becoming is much larger as time goes bye.
My kids cry every single time we head north to Ohio and pass over the Florida border. Like your kids mine is just being honest and wants to head back to Fla as soon as we can. I hate to see them cry.
As I tell others who have posted in this forum about moving back to Fla after leaving you input is extremely valuable to others. You have been on both sides of the fence.
Hopefully in less then 2 years we will be headed south to a better life without the cold, snow and all that goes with it.
6 degrees here with a wind chill -20 at midnight and going to get colder, its getting very old.
DID YOU SAY BBQ !!  |

Oh congrats I'm sooooooooooooo jealous of you!! I just got back from Naples last week and ugh I can't wait to go back..... its -15 up here in NH too!! Its lovely aint it. I took my dog out this morning walked back in the house, thought I had a runny nose, no try more like a BLOODY nose!! Ahhh love dry sinus's! (sp lol?) You enjoy your trip down, and have pity on us new englanders still stuck up here. I will hopefully be joining you in 4-6 weeks though Drive safe and take your time.. Send us some pics when you get back... I'm totally Floridaized too (in all fairness though I did grow up there) and its a hard place to leave when you can be on the beach in Jan!! |

Congrats on your move back! We are in "Florida" technically...but are heading back over to Ft Myers/Cape area! That is "real" Florida to us! It's nice to see those who are coming back, and appreciate what Florida has to offer! Welcome Back!!
