I once was honored to spend almost a week in the Boca Raton area with relatives. It was December, and we did all kinds of great sight-seeing and snorkeling. It was a nice break to have, in the normally (where I was living in Upstate NY) cold Winter months.
I have lots of beloved people in Florida. It is very comfortable in the Winter months. I understand very well why so many older folks go to live there.
