They got almost everything right—especially Florida! Now I want to move north more than ever.

on FB, telling me to move there. My kids grew up in Florida and are resisting the lure of winter, or we might be there already. Maybe global warming will win them over.

Sadly, though my GGF came from Scotland (where I’d really rather go) via Canada and my grandparents only went there several times a year to go fishing, I’m not sure that meets the two-generation requirement to get in. Sure is tempting, though, and probably as close to Scotland as I’ll ever get. *sigh*

It would be a fascinating place to be but I can't drink. I can't drive on the wrong side of the road as I'd panic so it looks like online is as close as I'd ever get.
