We always miss what we cannot have... my husband told me he misses Monte Carlo

He was so annoyed to live there that we traveled all the time just to escape from the "golden cage".

One winter in Connecticut will help both of you, appreciate what Florida has to offer, more

I told Jay, that Florida has never been a state that appeals to me. Now, this has totally changed!

We don’t need a winter in Connecticut to appreciate Florida more. We both love it there, but we decided that we wouldn’t live anywhere there unless it was on the water.

@kobesbuddy All my men love cool weather, but we are lucky to live on the water and to have a house to return to when it gets hot and humid there in the summer. It gets hot and humid in Connecticut, too, in the summer.

@DianneN Jay hated winters in Michigan. Now, he doesn't want to move south, the heat bothers him more than cold weather.

Yes, our plans too are topsy turvy due to this crippling virus. I am in India now but with no direct flights from where I live I do not want to mess it up. We have been sort of imprisoned and no one saw it coming.

I had no idea you were in India! Are you there because of visit family or on vacation? How long have you been stuck there? If we hadn’t shipped down our car last year to have in Florida, we would have been stranded there, too. So sorry for your predicament.

@DianneN I was visiting India often as my mom was sick for years. As her condition was getting worse, we came down end of February. She passed on in May. We would have returned within a month but flights are restricted and more than that the quarantine period of 14 days. Not to mention the virus risks during the travel. As we have an apartment here too, we are not inconvenienced. Then what the hell. I AM RETIRED. So the predicament is sweet and sour!!!
