We did not ment to start a discussion , just wanted some good answers to some questions.
Graciegirl .... you spelled almost right : in dutch it is WELKOM , but very nice of you
TV Tom ..... we think you are right , probably the best thing for us to do is to rent a nice property once a year for a copple of months , we have been looking around and yes, lots of nice properties for rent , in all price ranges and yes .. without any worries for us .
So for now we have decided to rent a place in TV and who knows, maybe one day the USA will allow europeans to stay s long as they want in florida and maybe then it will be the moment to buy a property in TV.

only time will tell .
