we were 'snow bunnies' (kept flying back and forth) from 1995 to 2008. Became 'snow birds' in 2009 thru 2014 and full timers in 2015.
The 'snow bunny' years were the great escape years...we flew back and forth with only carry-on luggage every third week in the winter months...the stewardesses actually began recognizing us the frequent flyers that always took the same flight on the same airline and sat in the same seats(isn't that scary). The 'snow bird' years were different...we looked forward to coming down to Florida for the season (and we could both either work remotely, or fly to where we needed to be) and we also looked forward to going back north in the spring. Soon the 'charm' of everything that goes along with opening and closing two homes got the best of us and we decided to simplify our lives and we chose the one location that didn't involve shoveling snow. For a couple of years we didn't change doctors and we flew north for that. Finally we jumped in with both feet and centered everything in FL. Sometimes it just comes down to letting go of that which you no longer choose to tolerate.
