Just looking for info on the area, never been there.

Had to look that up. It's down by Tampa, near the old Tampa Bay area. Nope, Im north/east of there, north of Orlando.

Why, you looking to relocate? Come on down, it's all good.

Hi Brain, never been to FLA and it seems I have a friend there? Road trip?:

Let me into your country so I can move to Florida!

Im in the area what would you like to know?

Just tell him to come on down. He wont' believe it till he sees it anyway.



Don't worry, my sleepy friend - it's cooled right down.

It's only high 80's.

The gulf must be awesome by now, cuz the ocean is warm enough to swim in.

I love it here, all of it. I feel like the dog in the Beggin Strips commercial. Keep pushing my leave date back.

The gulf is in low to mid 80s, probably will cool a tad after all the rain coming up this week and wind. The water is warm enough to swim but too many sharks around right now. We caught probably at least 20 to 30 in the last 2 weeks.

Yes come on down, its nice now because all the snow birds have gone back north. Now it only takes 1/3 of the time to go anywhere. Plenty to do here, you got Baseball in St. Petersburg, hard rock casino in Tampa which is right off I-4, Busch Gardens right in same area, Clearwater Beaches, Ybor City which is a big party area, Disney of course which is about 1 1/2 hrs east of Tampa. And theres plenty more.

My nephew Tobi fishes for sharks around there too - he took dh out last time we were down to visit. Very cool!

When we were out by Titusville, I saw some tiny crab pot bouys floating. Now that's what I wanna learn to do.

Dh laughs, and says I'll like that till the first time I get pinched by a blue crab. I says yeah, right. It can't be worse than a parrot bite.





(then I can eat him for revenge...)

It's more complicated buying a house here though. Up north, you decide city or country, how many baths, how many bedrooms, one floor or two?

Here you have all that plus lake, river or ocean? Boat docks or room for a pony? I never had to check for flood zones or HOAs before. I think I've looked at 4000 houses online already. It's almost as hard as picking a dog on petfinder.

JMiller if your kissing a fish it had better be a bass! Friend works in the Clearwater area and invited me done for a look see.

No clue if I will take her up on it yet as it is my ex-wife, but her head seems in a better place than the current one.

LOL just looking for peace!
