To be fair, Scott wants lower taxes (hopefully, he’ll get it done) and we have no income tax. Florida is a excellent place to relocate to. The beaches alone make it worth it!
About this time, year before last, wifey and I made the driving "friends and family" tour around the southeast. We entered at Pensacola and spent two nights in Destin, then down to Lakeland, further down to Sanibel/Cape Coral, then over to Ft. Pierce and up to Daytona for another three nights -- and it was just before Memorial Day, so we had the town to ourselves.
Wrapped up the Florida leg with a daytrip to St. Augustine, then up to JAX/Middleburg before heading out to Georgia. You're right about the beaches.....but it was Lovebug season, and the old Camry never quite recovered.
