With that being said, I’ve taken quite a liking to this state.
Michael, I’m very familiar with your journey and love your posts here, and your appearances on the Newcomers YouTube channel. We tried to buy a veranda in Richmond when we arrived in Nov 2022, but had no luck. On day three here after four tries in Richmond we saw an open house for a veranda in DeLuna and it ended up being perfect for us. We love it here! So glad it has been a great experience for you too. We are Disney fans so we go there often, but haven’t really seen much else in FL so far. Hopefully eventually. I’ve personally never been to any of the North Eastern states (nothing east of Michigan where my hubby grew up), so I’m hoping we get up there eventually now that we live so much closer. 😊
