Should we move to Aventura or Coral Gables?

Speed limits --- they are going to go by the posted speed limit which is ~65mph on I-95 all the way north vs prob ~45mph on US1. So estimates are best case scenarios without traffic.

No, but doesn't surprise me. The rich kids anywhere are going to be more prone to "drug issues" -- my wife had friends who lived on Key Biscayne. "Key Rats." They were the worst drug offenders she knew.

Remember that you could go to Gulliver K-5 then Ransom.

Good luck.

Ah, ok, it makes perfect sense! Thanks for clarifying that!

That's right!! And I want to imagine that, even if these rumors are true about Guliver's drug problem, from K to 5th grade hopefully it's too early to worry about that...

THANKS AGAIN!
