No offence but Florida is bigger than UK.

And it is more a living holiday than a holiday. We want to relocate to get a summer lol. There is lots to do you could spend two weeks in Disney and then spend time sunbathing, eating out (better than Spain), cinema, shopping and going to like Miami. There is soo much more to do there than UK or Spain.

Its really just like people going to Spain for a month to their holiday home...

How are you going to relocate to the US? If you want warm winter weather and a realistic chance of permanently moving to said place, Australia is it.

Wasn't it near Leipzig or something? Curious as to what region you found similar to Pennsylvania. I stopped there and in Dresden en route to Poland. 3:45 pm sunsets on the Polish side and a distinct smell of coal smoke in the still winter air.
Yes it was. The landscape and the hamlets reminded me of Amish Country, PA; minus all the grain silos. I'm talking about northern Saxony, the rural areas. I only spent one day in Leipzig, Dresden, and Berlin. The rest of my stay I spent in little towns.

No it isn't. (And why would I be offended, what difference does it make anyway?)

United Kingdom - 243,610 sq km
Florida - 170,304 sq km
England - 130,395 sq km







Northern Ireland - 13,843 sq km

Andalucia:



This one looks almost like somewhere in northern Africa/middle east
Looks gorgeous.

I spent a month in Florida on two separate occasions when I was younger. It was nice and I would do it again, but there are so many better places to visit in the US IMO. Boston, Philadelphia, DC, Charleston, Savannah, etc. That's just the east coast. You can still get a nice beach vacation in all the way up to Cape Cod.

I would love to go to the USA someday. I would not choose Miami as a summer destination as it would probably be too humid for me during July/August, and pretty much the whole of the east coast has hot summers with nice beaches. I would definitely go to Miami in Spring or late Autumn though.

I've never seen the appeal of Florida, away from Disney World and perhaps Miami. New England and the North East in general looks a lot more interesting, along with the wider South East (i.e Louisiana, South Carolina, Georgia).

That isn't worth traveling over 4,000 miles - I'm not a female tween.
