Would you still do both? 13 hours ago, Coralc said: You need longer than a week to make it worthwhile. Car rentals, inter island flights. Another vote for Hawaii. Went there for honeymoon, (1991), and have back there subsequently every 5th anniversary. Hopefully, trip #7, (30th anniv.) this September. Agree that more time is needed, but since you are limited, I would split between Oahu and Maui. (7-8 days). We did that for the honeymoon then built up to a 10 day stay the second time and have been doing 2 week stints ever since.

The master suite is it's own floor on the top level....and I've wanted a white kitchen for a long time. So, is the garage on the main level of is it a basement? My curious mind would like to know. I just figured it was on the ground level with the couple of stairs in the photo going to the main level of the house. Then the others floors are above the rest of the house. I just guessed that the elevator is more for the "old bones" of the previous resident. I know a DR who put one in her house because she has knees and arthritis. If not I am sure Nate has already figured a alternate location for parking the cars when there is a risk of flooding. At our condo in Sarasota the mangers will shuffle cars to a neighboring building that has a parking garage. They are allowed to use levels higher than the storm surge.

Your comment that you didn't believe me about the soy sauce yesterday, assuming I had no idea about the sauce. Then didn't believe me about Bucky up on the screen enclosure making me back it up with pictures, or in your words "or it didn't happen". Arguing with Dave about the soy sauce. Bringing sweet Sea Dog down for being a newbie. Now you are telling one of the sweetest people on this thread that her house in in flood zone and referring it to "The Jeffersons"? Just when she is so excited about her new place? Have you ever had anything...anything.. nice to say to any of us? This thread may not be the best choice for you.

Have you ever had anything...anything.. nice to say to any of us? This thread may not be the best choice for you. Extra Soy sauce makes it saltier, the hotter tasting they ask you if you want is a type of chile hot sauce that is added into the stir fry toward the ending of the cooking. I thought you were referring to that. On another forum(it's a tractor forum) I'm on, when people say they got a new or new to them tractor people always ask for pictures or it didn't happen....Same as I was referring you to do. It's a fun thing. To envy other's people's new toys. I was just saying when a garage is under your house and live in Florida, put 2 and 2 together, pretty good chance you are near water. Thought that was neat, but common sense tells you anyone near water is much more prone to being in flood zone then not. The Jefferson's comment was a compliment, moving up to to bigger and better things. It's a wonderful time to move to new place. I wish them both ton's of luck in their new place. I'm excited for her new house, think it's awesome they are moving to Florida. My wife and I almost did it ourselves the same thing but decided to move to Virginia from New Jersey. Looking at Mytle Beach now to buy something close to the beach for a investment , use a few weeks out of the year and rent out the rest of the time. Guess what I bet it's in a flood zone too.! On your last comment, my opinions about topics may not be the same as yours and some others on this forum. But I thought that was what this forum is to discuss different topics? I guess maybe you don't quite understand what an open forum is all about. Edited April 28, 2021 by Jimbo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 70s and down to 40s at night. With it getting up to 90 later this week in central FLA...it will feel nice!

As for houses I am extremely happy we bought a one story house exactly ten years ago, I liked the multiple stories in my younger days but not now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
