Well, this is the month to jump! I hope all goes well with your planning. And I plan to do the same in February 2015.
I also turn 62, but for me it is in November 2014. I am staying until February 2015 because my employer gives us two weeks off during the winter break paid! And that is on top of getting 12 days off vacation and 12 days off sick every year. I worked in Florida State law enforcement for 28 years and am now working in college security.
And as soon as I get my traveling RV rig I am on the road! Good bye Florida!
