The most difficult part was to convince my wife that she will enjoy it too. Luckily our son's move from NY to Orlando made her make up her mind. Also, heavy snow storm in 2010 around DC area with no electricity for 3 days did the trick. She still won't let me pack up and move yet so 13 hour "commute" will prevail for a while. We'll take auto train this go around. Hurrah, at least, I am doing this for real. No more snow shoveling for me.
Welcome to you. I think you and your wife have made a wise choice. We bought a home three years ago to snowbird and now we have just moved here to live year 'round.

I hope that every day here brings peace and happiness and that you will have more than your usual share of sweet surprises.

Kindest wishes,
Gracie.
