Agreed. I'd like to live up north for 6 months and in FL 6 mo. I don't like the extreme cold and nor do I like the extreme heat.

I'd leave immediately if I won the lottery. I'd either move to Hobbs NM, Roswell NM, or Lubbock Tex. Going to move lottery or not, 24 years here is to much.

I totally agree with you. We're only here two years, and there's so much to see & do that we haven't been able to yet. I think I would actually enjoy the opportunity to vacation in many different parts of the state.

I have thought and talked about leaving Florida but my roots are deep rooted here so I would stay but I would travel.

I wasn't thinking of leaving for those reason just wanting to visit other places I guess. I guess I have a gypsy gene in there some place.

We love our home. We would stay but have another home in a cooler climate for sure.

Default Think big people!

Everyone here is thinking too "working class". If you win a lotto, you can travel around around the world and not "live" anywhere - cats, dogs, (even) kids and all. Even with a small one, you can do that for a while. In any case, you'll have learned to appreciate where ever your home is.

I have been here for 35 years. If I won the lottery, I would have a home in Vail, Colorado for the summer (yes, summer) and a home in Maui, Hawaii during the winter. Of course, I would also do a lot of traveling.
