1) Current City and State = Suburban Tampa FL

2) Why do you want to leave = Cannot take the heat here anymore. And it is getting too crowded, too many people causing too many problems with traffic, especially the horrible Florida drivers. Mainly, it is too hot to do anything, and Florida weather limits outdoor activities half the year.

3) Where In Maine and Why =Anyplace rural, prefer at least 20 acres perfect for cabin or off grid home

4) 2nd and 3rd Place States =Vermont, northern Colorado

5) What’s currently holding you back from moving =not quite $$ ready to retire, old lady and I both work in Tampa but I am about ready to hang it up and travel Then again, I have not found a place yet

6) Anything else you want to tell us? =I admit that I love Weed. I'll be in Maine in September to enjoy the outdoors and look at land for sale. I like to be outside, but cannot take the Florida heat outdoors anymore. A one mile walk around the neighborhood becomes painful in the summer, tolerable in the winter. Cold does not bother me.

where now? Sarasota County FLA

why? I don't want to move full-time or buy, just escape the heat for 1-3 months each Summer...starting now!

where to? Southern & central Maine...currently looking at Brunswick, or w/in 15 minutes drive to Brunswick.

other places? No other places get cool enough in June-July-August, so not looking at any others

holding me back?...this Summer's 95% booked, so I'm looking ahead to Summer of '23, & a hail mary miracle for right now.

other? I'd like to keep it <$6k/mo for at least a 1 bd 1 bath w/ parking, a/c, wifi, washer-dryer (nothing on airbnb or vrbo at this time)

Any ideas?
