We have a couple of seasonal friends that do this. Get a sleeper car on the train.

When we rented 5 years ago in TV, our sump pump failed up north and we came
home to 6" of water in our basement and lost a lot of personal stuff.

My neighbor checked the house Friday morning, rain all day on Friday, and didn't notice the mess until Saturday morning.

Wife said that's enough, chose were you want to live full time.

Have a safe trip regardless if you fly or drive.

My wife and I have actually talked about doing it in reverse. Dunno how well it would work (probably a year-by-year thing) but as I've discovered to my surprise that as I actually love the summers down here, we talked about renting the place out for Jan. Feb. and Mar., and using that time to travel. We have a lot of friends and family along the southern tier of states (Florida panhandle, Texas, Arizona, Nevada) and cruising is opening up again, so it does seem to make some sense. Plus the rental income from renting those three months means that we'd have some significant playing-around money as well.

Make sure you hire a Company to make weekly visits to your home. Some Homeowners policies have a Vacancy Clause where they can deny claims if you do not have an actual company doing the visits. They do not count neighbors, Friends Relatives, etc. as qualifying. I manage 150+ Snowbird's properties here in The Villages and have had people come onto my service after having this issue.

Hadn't thought of that but thanx. Good advice.

I agree that a visit to our insurance agent would be advisable as well: had to have something happen and then find out that we're not covered for it because we neglected to jump through this-or-that hoop.

Oh, I don't know... Curiosity?

Don't like the question? Don't answer it...

Love is a very strong word. "Don't mind" I hear a lot, but "LOVE"!!!! Wow.
