orlando
hi folks
decision is made off to orlando in dec
in the process of organising a place. renting seems the way to go and from my initial enquires having no job/credit rating doesnt seem to be a problem providing your willing to commit to a year. looking at lake mary area anyone got any opinions etc? any good pint bars in that neck of the woods?
i know its a long shot but anyone on here know if theres any local rogby clubs in the orlando area?

Re: orlando
There is a Forum called - http://www.***********.org/forum - it's mainly about immigration - however, it is based in Orlando and most of the posters are Brits and a lot of the posters live in and around Orlando. They have a monthly meeting so would probably be a good place to get advice and meet other Brits.
Good luck in your new life.
Oh - aren't we allowed to post websites. Please PM me if you want to know the web address.

I think it's just that website -- yes I know which one it is. Full of British Daily Mail readers worshiping Enoch Powell from Florida on E-2 visas as far as I can see.

Re: orlando
Take a look at city-data.com/forums and check the Florida sections. It's not Brits but people moving from city to city and a lot of chatter about where to live/where not to live.

Re: orlando
What are you looking for in a city?
If you can imagine living in Ibiza only with less booze and more crime, Orlando might be your spot.

Re: orlando
thanks for all the responses
found that website will give them a shout plan on playin im 31 so theres a bit of life in the oul dog yet.
figure orlando as its the right side of the country for flights home ppl visitin etc plus i could do with the sunshine west coast ireland get a hellava lot of pissy weather.
been there a few times too so have a fair idea what its like. gun crime seems to have gone bananas. been checkin out orlando sentinel online and there interactive guide to crime
from what i can see as long as i dont start dealing drugs or messin round with an other fellas lady i should be safe enough
no state tax is a plus too. rent seems about the same here but you get a lot more house for the money in nice areas like lake mary. cars are feic all although i did get a few motor insurance quotes online and there nothing cheap there.
i know every city has its good and bad but what i would like is
hot weather
access to sea/lakes for boating
plenty of active things to do(get enough culture at home)
good nite life
low cost of living
nice place for the family and friends to visit with loads of things for them to do when they getting on my nerves
low crime
job opps
orlando seems to tick the boxes bar the last two but you cant have everything. san diego was running a close second but the cost of living is huge and its a fair haul to get to.
