I lived on the east coast in a small town called Titusville, it's in between Daytona and Melbourne, and about an hour east of Orlando.Was in St. Petersburg for 24 years and have been in Clearwater since 2003....Love it here in the winter not so much in the summer.... What part of Florida were you in?
And I know what you mean about the summers, they are hot and humid! I sure don't miss that part, or hurricanes, but there's also a lot of other things to enjoy there as well. Peace
