Well, Heck. I'm retiring in 11 months, shopping trawlers now. Had it all planned out, Florida bound. Now you people got me thinking of hanging in my old home state now! Originally from Cary, but haven't been there in a long time, good time to explore my old, very old, stomping grounds. Once I retire, I will be a live aboard, so exploring and recreation are essential.
Wifey B: Love NC, but like Paradise better. Just these brief words for your thoughts.
Average temps in January:
Fort Lauderdale, high 76, low 58 (cold cold....but can deal with it).
New Bern, high 55, low 34.
I really love NC, just love FL more. Guess I'm polystateamorous.
