And, keep all the stuff that's "near and dear" to you at your Florida residence. Family photos, awards, stamp collections, etc. If they do an audit on you, they would use stuff like this to show that you are still a "NY resident" despite the fact that you spend 6+ months in Florida. And get a Florida doctor and dentist down here, along with a bank that has Florida branches and a safe deposit box. NY and other states are desperate for tax dollars and don't want to lose you. Be prepared in case they challenge you.
