The REAL Florida

Many who visit Florida on vacation frequently think about moving here permanently -- or at least toy with the idea. The site's purpose is to give down-to-earth opinions and observations about various facets of Florida life, without all the sales hype so common to these sites. All this is from writers who've been there and done that.

Some opinions are nice; some observations are not so nice; and some are downright snarky, but take it in the fun-loving spirit it's intended.

Our hope is that you visit here and get a better idea of what the REAL Florida is like. It's quite nice here.
