When we returned from Florida, both times, back to Vermont, we also loved experiencing breathing in that crisp cold air.........it was refreshing and invigorating. We had missed the nice fresh air. We bought our third home in the same exact neighborhood.........back with all of our good old friends and neighbors......where we had all raised our families together.
Now, the lady who bought our home in 1994.......finally decided, after a decade in Vermont, losing her husband, her son growing up, etc. that she could no longer take the LONG COLD WINTERS.........so she had a home built in South Carolina........
This is a free country after all.......and people are allowed to change their minds. She did. We did. You have.
In my humble opinion, the ones who have "the best of both worlds" are the snowbirds who can winter in Florida for a spell.......but then return NORTH to their primary homes for the spring and summer and autumn months which are beautiful. A wise realtor in Venice Florida reminded me as we were selling our beachfront condo......"You don't have to buy in Florida in order to enjoy the winter season in Florida"......I'll always remember that............especially since I notice that MOST FOLKS return north no later than May.........to escape the oppressive heat and humidity.
Moving long distance, back and forth again........even if one sell all of their furniture........is still expensive as there are always personal items to move. Been there, done that. So better to BE SURE one way or another before acting in haste and repenting at lesiure.
GOOD LUCK. I do not think you are negative. I think you have a brain and use it.

Not sure what your point is but most people who make a move do not act in haste. Heinekens is a man who visits as a guest more than once and describes his probably free visits as being " at the mercy of his hosts" "not allowed to go out on his own" , gets behind an "older" gentleman in line and sees fit to mention it, orders a hamburger ( perhaps he was "forced" into this) then complains about the price and makes totally untrue statements about "residents not patronizing this restaurant", plays his initial game of golf and has a problem with the Starter, is surprised that a restaurant will not allow him to bring his own drinks ( Is this permitted anywhere, I would not have the gall to bring my own drinks into a restaurant), would not buy ice cream since the golf cart ride is "too long" and after all this he concludes, a year later mind you, that he would not move because of the weather. This was a very transparent hit piece. What I cannot figure out is WHY?
