I think living in Florida is great at my age, but there are times I reminisce after 7 years down here.
We travel back, but it just isn't the same.

For me it has to be the 4 seasons, not the snow and cold, but the change in weather, the fall colors that never seem to last long enough.
The farm fields in summer watching the crops progress from month to month, or the smell of freshly cut hay and miles of corn fields.
Don't miss much or I would NOT have left. Just a few things - Carnegie Mellon University, cooler, less humid summers, fishing in Canada before you needed a Visa, and a few ladies!
