    I just started watching your videos. Thank you for posting this. We go to Florida at least twice a year but we have only visited DisneyWorld and Universal. I really would love to make the move but my husband only wants to vacation there. So, I’m learning a lot from these videos so I can share the good with the bad if we do find a home there.

    I really enjoyed your videos. We made the decision to move to Florida also and were scheduled to move in our new apt June 3rd. We're moving from NC. We moved here from WV a year ago. NC just doesn't feel like home to us and I've wanted to move to Florida my whole life. We have 3 boys and our children are very excited to move! We'll be staying in Sanford until we buy a house sometime next year. You guys have given me alot of advice and helpful tips to prepare for our move as well as reassurance that it's the right decision for us! Thank you!!!

    Awesome video guys. I have been visiting the Tampa/Clearwater area my whole life and I’ve seen the traffic become crazy there. 19 and the causeway were always a shit show, but the traffic congestion in general has definitely blown up. Too many people moving in I guess. I appreciate your honest and positive viewpoint. It’s inspiring for us for our move. Thanks.

    Very interesting. Our son went through a lot of what you are saying as they moved to Riverview near Tampa. He works at the airport. She works at Tampa General Hosp. What you are saying about the traffic couldn't be more precise. Sometimes via I-75, it takes him over an hour to get to work. Depends on the time of day. But coming from Ohio, they love it. And we do too as we have been there several times since they moved down. We are retired and trying to get things together to move as well. I know for sure it wont be where they are, as its too congested with so many new developments going up like theirs. But I am sure that is not the only area congested. All I know is we need to get out of Ohio and move. By the way, I can hear a Canadian accent there. Like aboat vs about lol. Love it

    Did your kids have to get a physical from a Florida doctor before you register your kids for school?? And you are so right I’m always on the phone with the schools and the school board to see what the schools are rated.. my daughter gets bullied often because she is different and marches to her own drum. So I’m thinking a charter school will be better for her

    Hi! Thanks for the video. Can you tell us a little more about the schools? Is it easy to get into a charter school. Here in NJ you have to live in a district that “needs improvement” ie has low test scores. We are going to FL at the end of this month to look at builders and areas. I worry a lot about the schools. We live in a decent school district here.

If our kids just started at the initial school, can we transfer them midstream? As always, your advice is appreciated and invaluable. 👍

I am an RN and my wife is an LPN, do you have any advice for obtaining jobs before we move or if/how we should move and then obtain jobs? Have tons of questions and would love to pick your brains on the whole situation. Would be nice to have other people from WI to know when we get down there. Hoping you are all enjoying Florida!
