Lived in Miami my whole life, up until last year when my DH took a contracted job and we moved to Maryland. I use to hate the heat but I can honestly say the LACK of sun during this 6 month winter has driven me a bit bananas.
Yes, Florida has some backwater small towns. However, you will find those are few and far between. The developers are stretching out communities and the highways constantly being extended to reach places. Compared to our current residence, most parts of Florida will be newer, less expensive, and with access to a lot of activities. There is a reason the 'snowbirds' come down on the months that they do.
We are already planning our way back down to Florida in the next year. Permanently. These state taxes are killer. And any money we save from my husbands temporary higher salary is being thrown into Florida vacation plans. Also, I miss the food. Florida has some of the best food!
