Um, stay a while, see what happens. Probably move state in a couple of years to somewhere less....humid. Wont retire here for sure though.

Re: Sticking around?
I've polled "I'll be staying", 'cos I'm already retired and I'm here. 
If I am ever left a widow, though (hope not!) I'll be back to the UK as fast as my zimmer frame can get me there!

You're right. Is a horrible place. I heard they dont even have any real shops up there. Or roads. Or houses come to that. Everyone lives in cardboard shacks in alligator and mossie infested swamps. I would hate to live there. Disgusting horrible, horrible place. Infact my advice to anyone coming to FLA is just go straight to Orlando, dont stray outside of it. Its the only civilised place for hundreds of miles. If you see the Orlando City Limits sign FOR GODS SAKE TURN BACK TO THE SAFETY OF THE SOUVENIER SHOPS AND THEME PARKS!! Beyond that its like a, a, wilderness inhabited by sub-humans with buck teeth and big bad ass trucks. And guns. Lots and lots of guns.
