I admire all the snowbirds who seem to do it effortlessly. Some enjoy the drive up north, stop to visit friends, for example.
We are in the same situation and as soon as we sell our Northern home and vacation home we will be full-time here. In the future I only plan to have one home, here. We will spend a handful of months vacationing in the cooler areas across the North or Northwest during the hot months here.
