Fire at 58 last spring. Wife last fall. Four kids through college, married on their own. Sold primary house and moved to Cape house with no mortgage. Hate NE winters and always planned on renting in FL for a couple of months. Here we are in March looking at our biggest mistake to our plan, Buddy and Penny. We gave up in January trying to rent a decent place that would allow mans best friend and we don't blame them for not renting, we do not stay in dog friendly hotels since we found ticks and fleas in our room/bed once. We had them for over twelve years. They sleep all day and night (we do walk them once a day when it is not snowing sleeting or freezing).
Point of this posting is my advice to future FIREs who want to travel.
If you are going to FIRE with in 15 years do not get a dog. Or especially two dogs cause I swear they enjoy each other so much that they are going to live along time. You animal lovers don't bother attacking me. We love these dogs but never realized what would happen when all the kids moved out.
