We delayed our departure to The Villages until January.
It wasn't romantic, it was awful, ice and snow, bad idea
California or Arizona would make a nice winter getaway from Florida.
Cruises to the Caribbean are plentiful.
However I guess you are called POLAR BEAR for a reason

Heheh. Nahhh...I don't disagree with anything you said. We don't want to go to hard-core winter places. Just maybe to southern Appalachians, somewhere near the southern Rockies, places like that. And possibly in the fall, not the middle of winter.

We don't want to get into that hard-core winter stuff. I know it would be a bit of a gamble to even flirt with the southern edges of it in the fall. You can never know for sure what weather you'll get. But we're willing to live with that.

By the way, "Polar Bear" comes from my alma mater...not a love of the cold!!
