To me it seems like the only permanent Florida residents are

1. The farmers
2. Retirees
3. Latinos

Course it's not all inclusive but seems like that's the gist of it eh?

We are looking for a good school, we have 1 little girl 2.5 years old a we do plan to have more,

Having Looked at several sites, i have seen good things about Tampa Bay ? Also Orlando ?

Does anyone have any other ideas ? Or can you add to this ?

Also we are looking to start our own business in order to Get a Green Card, again any advise on this would be great,


Thanks In Advance

John
