Just for some interesting discussion:

How long have you been snowbirding?

How long do you stay south and or in transit?

What is your home state?

What age did you start?

What is your preferred location?

Have you tried other locations?

How long to you expect to continue?

What type of RV or other lodging?

Progression of RV's & other accommodations?

What will you do when you are to old to travel north & south?

Any other relevant comments?

20 winters in the Florida Keys.
It used to be 3 months, now it is 6 months.

On that "bitter end"; I hope mine is a happy end !

Progression of RV's & other accommodations?
Started Travel trailer, then 5th wheel, then park model, currently brick home in an ownership RV & mixed dwelling retirement community.

Most likely stay south permanently, Minnesota winters are difficult with the cold and falls on the snow and ice, My mom is mostly housebound after the first lasting snowfall until permanent melt.
