Free is good especially when on spring breakI worked in Miami and Ft Laud when young, but then the company moved to the west coast, tampa/st pete, and I fell in love with the Gulf, and the gulf Beaches, and sunsets.....You're welcome to visit Ocean is great.................except when it's hurricane seasonmy family is in Florida, so I visit in winter down there....will be moving to Fl this coming winter....Sandy Daughter lives in Bangor Has a crazy cat too but strictly indoors I'm on LI in NY but spend winters in Florida Hate the cold weather I tell my daughter she's nuts living there but some of the pictures she sends are beautiful IMO winters too long summers too short Over here birds start chirping 530 600 I'm up before that watching CNBC for stock stuff
When I lived in New Jersey, (and was young) every Spring Break we went down to FT Lauderdale for vacay, with a bunch of friends....one of their parents had a condo winter home in the southern area of Pompano beach that we got to stay at for free.....!!!
