Possible snowbird next year.

I have been retired for awhile and now that the grandkids are in school, we are not as closely involved with them. I am getting sick of MI winters (lack of sun more than the cold or even the snow). FL would be our likely destination, hopefully near the west coast.

How do you find a place to stay ? Not set on FL, but the daytime high temps should be in the 60s in January-March.

Do most people head south in the late fall and return for Christmas (can't miss that) or just wait until after the new year.

Last, is 18-24' TT "big enough" for 2 people used to having their own space in a 1400 sq ft house ? I want to keep the size "reasonable" in case we want to take any long trips during the rest of the year.
  • We started out with a 19 TT just to see if we would like it or not. Left in April to wander around. Ended up in Fredericksberg, TX on the recommendation of people we met along the way. Got home after 2-3 weeks and traded the trailer for a new 5th wheel and bought a bigger truck. Went to the Hill Country in TX for 3 years then AZ for 3 years then back to the Hill Country. You won't know unless you try it. Just plan to roam around and see what you find..
