I’ve never lived anywhere other than Florida, but I have spent a few weeks here and there in other places. Florida has a lot incredible things you can’t find anywhere else. So if you’re thinking about moving, remember all these things you’ll miss:

  1. Lots of sunshine

  1. Wearing flip-flops or going barefoot almost year-round

Flickr/kaitlyn Folks in some other places will look at you like your crazy if you try this.

  1. Rain will no longer come out of nowhere and disappear 15 minutes later

weknowmemes.com Believe it or not, in some places it actually rains all day. Sounds awful!

  1. Being surrounded by water

  1. Disney World

  1. The best Cuban sandwiches ever

Flickr/Tammy Gordon Do you really think you’ll find one like this up north?

  1. Say goodbye to warm winters

weknowmemes.com No more holidays in shorts and flip-flops, and you might even have to shovel snow.

  1. Green, green everywhere

  1. Key lime pie

  1. Palm Trees

Flickr/Shadia Naser I can’t even imagine walking outside and not seeing palm trees. If you live here long enough, they make you feel at home.

  1. World-Class Fishing

  1. Pub Subs

  1. The Keys

Flickr/SachinChitale I bet wherever you move to won’t have anything as fun and interesting (not to mention beautiful) as the Florida Keys.

  1. Florida’s awesome weirdness

  1. Perfect sunsets

Flickr/Kim Seng Whether you’re at the beach or stuck in traffic, you can catch an amazing show at sundown. You won’t find these sunsets anywhere else.
