Six trips there. Fortunately, I am on the west coast and it is only 5 hours. I really think I could live there someday.
Hey,whatever floats your boat.I'm seriously considering a condo in Sarasota,FL.The only two places in this country that I would consider living in,or visiting,that are controlled by Rats are New England (my home...family's all here) and New York City (the most exciting city on earth).
The reason I mentioned 14 hour flights is because the several stopovers I made there were made 20-30 years ago on trips to/from Australia and East Asia.Now,there's no need for such a stopover traveling to/from those places.
The weather is far better than Florida’s. Heck. southeast Florida is likely more infested with liberals than a lot of Hawaii.
