Thanks quietnas, I've lived in St. Petersburgh for about a year and had a great time. The only thing I know about South Florida is what I've seen on Police Women of Broward County..hahaha
I'm really not interested in clubs and bars and stuff like that. I do love great mom & pop diners, drives and dives that use locally available/organic/free-range products. Good places for the kids is a bonus. As far as private schools, I'm already in that vicious circle and don't like it. It's one of the reasons we're looking at this move. Unfortunately, out here, public schools are not available to me....and damn it's expensive. [:@]
Coming from San Diego, fishing is a massive incentive for me, but isn't a make or break factor. Neither is RC racing/flying sights...although that would be icing on the cake [:-]. My kids and the family welfare come first.
