I currently live in New England and take care of my mom. She's 84 with dementia but is pretty healthy. I will, of course, be there for her, but I'm also anxious to move to a warm climate and start a new life. I hope to retire within the next year so I 'll have time to plan. Am I crazy?
Ew.
Humidity is bad, especially for the hair!! LOL!! I know if I could have persuaded my mom to go back to FL with me she would have LOVED IT! Especially the warmth and being able to actually get outside all year long vs being cooped up in a house for months on end. This is why hundreds of thousands of people migrate to FL during winter.
Every state has it's natural disasters, bugs and other such unwanted things....I'd personally rather battle a few bugs in nice weather and take long walks on the beach than stare at a foot of snow for 5 months :)
