Many people either enclose their lanais or add a birdcage and possibly a pool or spa. While a birdcage doesn't need to be done immediately, it may make sense to do it before you do any backyard landscaping.

Depending upon your furniture and what you will be bringing with you, you may be in the market to spend a lot on new "Florida" furniture. Don't forget outdoor furniture for the lanai and possibly a new grill. Also, window treatments can get very costly. Because of the bright sun down here you may also want to have film put on your windows to reduce heat buildup and also keep your furniture and carpeting from fading.
