    Default So I'm moving to FL for a little while....

    So I pretty much decided last night that I'm going to be leaving my job in December(after i get my bonus check ) and I will be heading down to FLORIDA for the winter.

    My cousin is going to put a deposit down on a house in Ft. Lauderdale for us today.
    For right now its just a 3 month rental. I dont know what I will want to do after that. For now its just a nice long vacation that might turn into a permanent move if I find a job and really like it down there.

    The house:
    3 Bed
    2 Bath
    Pool
    Hot Tub
    Dock in the back for the boat.


    I'm a little nervous about not having a job...ok well a lot nervous. I'll be ok financially for the most part(i might just get a temp job or something just for some extra cash..dont know what i could do tho). Im also nervous about going somewhere that I don't really know anyone at all. BUT I'm very excited to just relax, party, sleep, go crazy for 3 months and get away from this winter and all the people up here in NY and meet some new people.

    So who wants to show me around when I get there.

    Any thoughts? suggestions? ideas? Am I crazy?

    Yes, you are crazy...and yes you should do it. I cannot. I wish I had. I wish I'd gone backpacking in Europe with my buddies...I wish I'd gone to California to fart around on the beach...I wish I'd gone to Florida and worked some crappy job that was just enough to get by when all I needed was just enough to get by.

    Let me live vicariously through you, AinNY...and if you truly love me...you will let one gal while you're down there...just one...scream my name...just once.

    MOJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! !!

    I think you're doing a good thing. We all need to get away and just let loose for a little while. I wish I would have gone to Italy with my friends...partied in Amsterdam...gone backpacking in Spain/France. I wish I would have done a lot of things. But, you know, I was too busy "being responsible and making money". Sure, I had more money than most of my friends, but when I sit down and look back with fondness, I see: work, a small vacation here...work...work...work. That was my 20's. Now, I have a little girl...and although right now, I am "prevented" from traveling as much as I'd like...I'm determined to raise my little girl in a more "jet-set" manner. Meaning, she will be raised to think of having fun NOW and getting serious later...instead of being serious now AND later.

    I wish you the best of luck!! Have fun, but take care of yourself!

    Yeah, definitely get the playing done early. I've definitely done my fair share and now getting to a point where I'll be happy to "settle" without regrets. No you're not crazy. Have fun!

    That does sound like fun. I went to Hawaii with 4 of my g/f's after we graduated high school. 3 of them wussed out and left after a week. I was there for a month and my other friend stayed for 2 months (she even got a job and a b/f) It was a totally wild time complete with drugs and drinking all night and sleeping it off on the beach all day. I have never been so tan. we hiked up a waterfall, paddled surfboards to a little island off the coast of Kailua to go cliff jumping (returned at sunset sharks feed at night ), tripped on acid a couple times, smoked the most incredible pakalolo, went see the male strippers (My friend tagged "Buck" ) , and made friends with some locals. This was 14 years ago and is arguably one of the best and most carefree memories of my life.

    Go for it.

    Moving to a new place and not knowing anyone at all isn't that bad. I've done it twice and LOVED it!!

    Get a temp job while you're there. It's always easier to find good jobs when you don't have large employment gaps. I'm learning that now The great thing about temp jobs is you can say yes or no to any assignment.

    You're going to have SO much fun. I'm trying to go to grad school in Florida and absoultely can NOT wait!!

    Hey, go for it and don't fear. If I recall correctly, Florida got slammed four times by storms, so I'm sure there is plenty of available constuction work for you. (You mentioned you can do construction...so no worries, my friend.)
    I might hit Fort Lauderdale before I go home to CA..got a couple friends there....we'll see.

    I figure i'm going to get an easy job just to pay bills....bartending, working at a marina, anythign like that I can do a few days a week....and in the mean time I'll work on applying for engineering positions.

    Maybe I'll still be down there when you go to grad school


    LoveSexMoney - That sounded amazing....im hoping for somethign similar...but without the drugs I wish I could do Hawaii...but FL just seems a little easier and cheaper.


    Thanks to everyone else also

    Thats true....construction jobs are huge there right now. Although I am trying to get away from that feild. But it may be a good option for the short term.

    Food/Bar service jobs are pretty easy to find in FL and construction as well- short term I don't think you'll have any problems getting work. What I do think you'll have trouble with is moving out of FL

    A, are you really that upset about the Yankees loss that you are willing to move to a completely different state?


    j/k


    Florida would be a blast. Unfortunately, I'm in a semi long-term commitment with my company that prevents me from being able to just pick up and move. Go for it

    I'll be in Fort Lauderdale sometime early next year... I'll have to look you up next time I'm down there so we can terrorize the Floridians.....

    I say you go for it! I wish I had done more traveling while I could. I now have 3 kids in school, so no more up and moving for me.

    I think we all will live through your eyes for a while!
