I am writing this post from the condo where my family and I are vacationing in Florida. This is a family Thanksgiving/Christmas present, and, I must say, a welcome break from the cold and dreariness of Wisconsin in November. My family and I have been coming to this part of Florida for many years and love every chance we to come here. We are located across the street from the public beach, access, which limits the hassles we have of finding a parking place, etc…. All we have to do is bring down the beach stuff and a cooler if we wish, and we are all set. The temperatures have been in the low to mid 80s this week, with the water temperatures (Gulf of Mexico) in the low 70s. This is truly a piece of paradise, and I would love the opportunity to live in this area full time. Thankfully, for me, there is a thriving IT infrastructure in the area, and IT related jobs are plentiful…….
