I’m a life long northerner and the few times I have been in FL I have ***LOVED*** it. I would love to live there all the time.
I hate the cold and always feel so alive and free when I am in FL and getting enough sun and walks.
The sunshine in Florida is great, but there are other things to bother you there. All sorts of bugs, and alligators to name just a couple. I’m not certain I could live there anymore. Maybe. It’s a perfectly lovely place to visit though. And the sunshine IS wonderful!!
