Should we move from No-Cal to So-Fla? (Miami, Orlando: health, diversity)

[la1chapina]

We are your typical Northern California couple complete with hippie tendencies, cultural diversity and super liberal thinking. We have to make a big decision whether or not to move to Miami/Ft.Laud/Orlando area but are nervous about being completely foreign. Is there anyone out there that's done the move from No-Cal to So-FLa and been happy about it? To give you an idea, we love the outdoors, shop at health food stores, watch mostly independent and foreign films, voted for Obama, and can stand ignorance or people out to prove themselves! HELP!!

Florida is a totally different vibe then Cali I`m not sure you would like it here but who knows it`s a big state. Try coming for visits you will get a better feel. South Florida is more liberal then north but not too much out door stuff, kind of a concrete jungle unless you like water activities.


North Florida has the Outdoors things but the thinking up there you might not like. Also Don`t forget Florida is Tropical so it`s hot and humid not dry like california.
