Sorry to hear that. I am sure “the other exit 67” would have been glad to see you again!
Yes!!Eighteen months ago today [June 1, 2019], we made the permanent move from NJ to central FL, just 59.4 miles away from WDW. We wonder if any other of our fellow 2,000+ mile round-trip drivers are considering a move to FL one day?
All the best!
Sorry to hear that BC, I know you were looking forward to the drive.Alas, our reverse round-trip drive (FL to NJ, NJ to FL) was cancelled due to a family health issue.
All the best!
I don't know what your talking about. Lol We are ready now. We have talked about it for the last 35 years. Our little baby is 26, still at home and won't leave lol, but she is ready to get back to living in Fl herself. Like most, we have retirement issues, we both have worked at the same jobs we've had for years and in less than 14 months, retirement goals, time etc. will be reached. Can't throw a lot of years of service away for a few months. We are still to young to retire but I'm sure there is plenty of work in Fl.Eighteen months ago today [June 1, 2019], we made the permanent move from NJ to central FL, just 59.4 miles away from WDW.

Junior hockey!!! Maybe we'll get to see him one day soon here in the lehigh valley!!! DD and myself are season ticket holds for the Flyers AHL affiliate Lehigh Valley Phantoms. This past season, the NCAA held some finals here in the LV at the PPL center home of the Phantoms.Yes!!
We have owned a vacation condo there for 6 years and I am counting down the days to move permanently. We had always said when my youngest graduates, but it’s not that easy.
He graduates Friday night and will to be playing junior hockey in the fall. He’s also not ready to move away to college.
So I guess we’ll be waiting a little longer.

He is a good hockey player but not that good. Lol There are so many levels of junior hockey. I always thought junior players were the ones who played in the olympics. LolJunior hockey!!!

That is one thing we are going to miss a lot, hockey season!
Sorry to hear about the health issues. Family first.My husband's health has been precarious for years and with the newest changes, I'm not sure how much longer he will be here. I've told him that when he's gone, the for-sale-as-is sign goes up (he hasn't been able to take care of the house for years) and I'm moving south (or getting a small RV and hitting the road). (If my parents are still alive, I will move five hours away to where they live first in order to take care of them. I'd be there now if it weren't for dh.)
DD #1 moved to KY six years ago and we've been able to travel to see her exactly one time. DD #2 moves to Savannah in eleven days and I don't think we will be driving there ever. We haven't gone to WDW since 2015 because of his health and the resulting decrease in income and increase in costs. DS #1 plans to move to Maryland's Eastern Shore in eight years, and DS #2, well he has his issues and we don't see him any more. So, all that to say that, Yes, moving to FL has been on my radar since our first visit in 2007. I've looked online at senior complexes that offer condo apartments. I don't want any responsibility for property maintenance. And I don't want a golf course, lol.
You never know, wish him all the luck in the world! Yah, I know there's a lot of hockey in Florida but ..... it's just not the same as what you grew up with. We miss it every off season. It's pretty cool watching them come up in the ranks, dd and I always comment, we knew him when he was sitting on the bench in the AHL.lolHe is a good hockey player but not that good. Lol There are so many levels of junior hockey. I always thought junior players were the ones who played in the olympics. Lol
It has been his passion since he was 6 years old. So I can’t just let him give up a dream to move to FL. You’d be surprised how much hockey there is in FL actually.
We can wait a few more years to see what comes out of this. We’re hoping it just helps him to get bigger and stronger to play D2 or D3 college hockey because he’s not ready yet.
Sorry to hear about the health issues. Family first.
Lyme does suck, my son had it when he was 5 for about 4 months before they tested for lyme. 11 years later and he still gets migraines :\Thanks, Dave. Lyme Disease stinks, almost 27 years of Lyme Disease stinks even more. At least a doctor at Hershey, one of the earliest researchers, caught it after he'd had it 2.5 years, but by then he was already in the late (or chronic) stage due to lack of treatment. The signs as you enter PA ought to read, "Welcome to PA, the state with the highest number of confirmed cases of Lyme Disease in the nation. Enter at your own risk."
I know what you mean I kinda go through withdrawals in the off season.You never know, wish him all the luck in the world!

Pro hockey players are just a different breed. We go to all the season ticket holder events and they are all just a bunch of great kids. They go out of there way to sign anything you want, shoot the breeze and take pictures.
Most other pro sports they look at you like you owe them something.
My DS has a ful backpack, but that is way nicer than his backpack!!View attachment 405787
Anyone else use this brand of luggage? We needed a small, carry on type bag. Zipper broke on our old one and it was getting ready for retirement.
Should be coming ups tomorrow.
We kinda added another day onto our two week stay at the Boardwalk in September and decided to stay over night in Kingland Georgia. Not to fear, we will be up at 2:30am on Saturday morning so I can drive through Jax and Orlando with very little traffic.
