My Florida Condo

We lucked out with a corner unit at our condo in Florida. It’s the largest in square footage and the views are spectacular! Our lanai faces the south and west. Looking east is nothing but water. See red arrow.
We are on the third floor of a four floor building. My sister-in-law and best friends live one floor below us. My brother and other sister-in-law live in the north building with our clubhouse and pool separating us.
The body of water in our backyard is called Lake Worth, although it’s the intercostal running from Boston along the eastern seaboard all the way around Florida and up to Texas.
Palm beach is across the intercostal and beyond that is the Atlantic Ocean. Water water everywhere.
Since our condo has been built, we have never had a flood or been hit by a hurricane or tornado.
I hope it’s still standing once we return. We love it there.

It is nice to have a condo near Ocean. I hope you can visit there again and enjoy the place.

@m_audrey6788 We are residents of Florida, so somehow we have to make it true. The taxes here in my state of Connecticut are outrageous, especially the income tax.

@Laurakemunto I looked for your message and could find it amongst all the others. I will try again later. I am in the middle of my martini right now and can't think straight.

@DianneN I truly trust that all will be fine. Winters are frustrating. It's been long, I too I have taken long before going up country and I feel so bad about it. I messaged you last time kindly check (PM)

@DianneN the storm lasted all night and was incredibly loud, but we’re fine.

@DianneN I just don't get the mentality of some people. I just don't. IF people would just man up and get the vaccine...we could have a good summer...

@snowy22315 I agree. Half of them are Trump supporters and the rest are either afraid of needles or think the virus is a hoax. They should all be horse whipped!

@RasmaSandra Awww, you are so sweet. I think it’s only a little over 3 hours depending on traffic down I-95.

@DianneN I know you'll do whatever is safest. But I do hope you will be able to go as you love it there. I wonder how Mr. Orville is doing too! Oh g, that DeSantis guy . Right - I wouldn't want to be in an environment where too many have that way of thinking . . . it'd be too risky .

Thanks! We hope to return in December only if it’s safe enough to do so. I’m not risking our lives for anything if we can help it. Too many covidiots in Florida, including the far right governor. The condo can sit and wait forever as far as we are concerned.
There are many there who don’t wear masks because it’s against their civil rights. Cough, Cough. Same with getting vaccinated.
And those are the ones who have horrendous health problems as it is.l
