Was in T C last week and never would have imagined the beauty of that area. Drove to the light house for a quick sight seeing trip and the vinyards, cherry trees, views, way cool. If i were in to winter sports, i would think about TC. Btw.... Nice Porschs last week too!

It's funny, lots of people kept telling us how warm it was in Florida, well last Summer at LOTO we had six weeks straight of almost 100 degree weather with the humidity in the 90%, it doesn't get any hotter than the midwest and the winters are miserable, ...........I thought this thread was where would you RETIRE, we've been here in the Cape since last October and have never had to look for something to do, there's either something going on here at the Cape, on Ft. Myers Beach, Marco Island, Sarasota, Naples, Punta Gorda.....................all these places are less than a hour boat or car ride, crap we can drive to Tampa or Miami in two hours.
It's less than a six hour drive to KW or we can take the Key West Express, do I need to keep going, I'm thrilled you guys love the North, but I lived in the midwest for 57 years and I'm going to finish out what's left down here in Florida........oh, did I mention I can go out back and jump in the pool anytime of the year, yes, even in January and February, we live on the ICW and we love living by Rumruners, it's our hangout, it's great to be able to jump in our boat and fly out to the GULF OF MEXICO anytime we want.....................have fun everybody.

I cant believe people are suggesting retiring in Michigan, I am sure it's beautiful but retiring there? My bones ache in winter the older I get, and I live in southern VA and I'm only 44! Those MichaiganTV commercials must really be working

When you guys are shoveling snow in January and February this coming winter keep an eye out for us Florida guys boating in 80 degree weather out in the GULF.
