In Florida summers we take our walks before dawn. Last summer was so unbearably hot and humid I didn’t even go out so then so we stayed up North until it cooled down. Previous summers were more tolerable. As far as winter up North, as you say it’s the lack of sun that is the problem. It would be nice to own just one home but at this point the benefits outweigh negatives. Biggest negative in central Florida is the healthcare. They say TV is one of the healthiest places to live. But watch out if you end up with a serious health issue. Hospitals, medical professionals (in general) and rehab facilities are below par. Some much lower. With some of the horror stories we’ve heard you’d think we were in a third world state. It’s the healthcare that keeps us from becoming permanent residents of Fl.
