That's the spirit.
One week after moving to FLA, Irma hit here. "Only 60 mph" by me and stayed in a school shelter for 2 nights with 30 new friends in the classroom.
Nevertheless, I am here to stay.

I have lived in Oregon for 50+ years. If you remember not more than two months ago we had unusually dry and warm weather. Experts said we’re all going to die because of global warming and low snow pack. Something like this happens every year then we make it all up either now or we never have summer until July. So, now we have lots of snowpack for the water lovers. February is the month everyone gets fed up with the dreary days and they scheme to move away forever. Then we have a great spring and summer and all is forgotten. Wash, rinse and repeat. I get wanting to move. We have family and roots here so we just head south in November for a couple weeks then late Jan for several weeks. Only been home for a week and we want to leave again.

Oregon is a big state. Two months ago, I had snow. I live at over 4000 ft., hours from the Interstate 5 Corridor. It is not dreary; it's dangerous. I am originally from the East Coast and am moving back. Back to Florida. :-)

It’s certainly not for everyone. I get it

An update to my February post… After much thought, inspiration from this board, extensive research, and more number crunching, I have decided to retire sooner. I am now class of 2021. Thanks to all here for your wisdom!

Thanks! I'm very excited! Still planning on Central Florida...and am starting to look at real estate sites more often. I don't know when I'll exactly move back to the Sunshine State, but it will be sooner than later. Have a vacation / scouting trip next summer after school gets out...counting the days!
