Thanks DM. The best thing about TV and TOTV is the wonderful people we've met. And we love escaping the Canadian winters, which we once enjoyed. We just wish we could stay longer! You Americans are lucky to have such a grand choice of sunny places to live!

Rubicon, honestly, I find it hard to believe reports of 86,000 Canadians moving to Florida to avoid taxes. I'm sure there are lots of Canadians who would like to move to the US, but it's not easy at all to get a US Work Visa. It's true that we have high taxes, and a lot of social programs. And of course, "free" health care means higher tax rates! We find Florida delightfully inexpensive.
