Looking at Florida Houses For Sale

I have been quite unwell this week – curse you migraine. This means I have spent some time in bed or just lounging around with nothing to do but think about stuff and chat to my other half. As is usually the case when I am left to my own thoughts I started to daydream and come up with all kinds of plans for the future and one thing we know we would love to do is…retire to Florida…or at least live there at some point in our lives.

The next big travel adventure we want to take is a month long trip to Australia and that’s already planned for early 2012, so a trip to Florida will have to wait for at least another year or so.

I was just looking at Florida houses for sale online and although it’s a long time away yet it’s pretty interesting and enjoyable to look. It’s great to get an idea about what sort of properties are available, what price range we could realistically afford and which specific areas would suit our needs and desires the most. My parents are also considering moving to Florida in a few years time which is a big pull for me – we moved away from my home town when we first moved in together many years ago and I always said that one day I’d like to live close by them again. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of having your parents just a stone’s throw away – even as an adult every one likes to have their parents close by…just not too close hehe

Will it ever actually happen? Well who knows, I have a lot of things on my little list of things I’d like to do in my life and most of them involve visiting or living in some exotic place so if I want to get it all done I had better get moving :)
