I've got to ask..other than Disney World..is Central Florida a nice place to live? We vacationed in Cocoa and just loved it. It's the one place I think I could probably move without much complaining.
I wish you could all move here! Settle in one little quiet neighborhood, Disney decorate our neighborhoods to the hilt, and just have a great time!
Bella - I think so. There is a lot to do, with the beach, attractions, pro sports teams in Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville, and the climate is good. I think my biggest complaints are crime and the lack of variation in climate...although to those points...I moved from Atlanta, and I don't see that Central FL is any worse than that was. I mean... crime is everywhere. And regarding leaves changing (they do, it's just more like January) and no snow (or hardly ever) - hey, I can always visit!
Probably my favorite part of living here is just the fact that vacations are so accessible. Like I said, we'd never see WDW if I had to travel here and convince DH to come. And in addition to that, we're within driving distance of ports for cruises, and Miami and the Keys, which really feels like a whole different country.

I'd love to, but unfortunately the U.S. Govt. makes it hard for us Brit's to do so. I'm sure there would be no shortage of family and friends wanting to visit.
I feel your pain. I would love to move for a 2-5 year stretch to England or France, but I've never quite been able to figure out how to do it...what I could offer that they would "want" It might make it a little easier now that most of the work that I do now is computer-based, and from home.
