I’m firmly convinced a person needs two homes, one in the south for winter and one in somewhere like New Hampshire for summer. Make your permanent residence the one that offers the best tax benefits for your situation.

Here on the Florida Gulf Coast (actually all of Florida), we refer to such people as 'snowbirds', coming down from the northern tier of states and Canada, starting around November and leaving around April and May. Without them we would never have had our NHL Teams (Lord Stanley needs a tan)!

By June you start to realize why Florida was a small population state before Air Conditioning became inexpensive. It is called A/C because it is not just the temperature, it is the HUMIDITY that wilts and is made livable by the same. There is a reason why A/C repair companies have 24/7/365 service down here!

I remember going to Asheville NC one August for a military reunion from here in Florida. I knew it would be nice but we were reveling in it while the locals were bitterly complaining of the oppressive heat wave. Perspective!

That reminds me of vacationing in Florida.
I’m from MA and this has happened more than once for me but i remember one time being in one of those outdoor bars on Miami Beach in February...it was like 70 degrees and i was in heaven....BUT the locals were complaining and freezing their butts off.
I was like wtf?
