Thank you all for helping. Yesterday I spoke to someone who actually lives there. Not what media says, but actual experience. I now understand that this winter Fort Myers is not someplace I want to visit. Not the right conditions for a long or even a short visit. I will try again for next winter.

Anyone currently living there? Can you share your experience? Cost of living? Interesting places to go? Restaurants? Parking? Traffic? Looking to see if we might like the area for a few months to check it out or maybe stay away? Thank you

I decided to get 2nd booster. latest variant. all of my shots are Moderna. No soreness and no other symptoms after the shot. I had no reaction after the original shot but was unwell for a day after the second original shot. 3 weeks before that, I got flu shot. I get that every year. Haven't had...

I am trying to figure out if we need to get a second Covid booster. Got one booster a year ago. Looking at CDC site, doesn't say anything about a second booster, but I hear people talking about a third booster. The more I google, the more I get confused. Do we NEED one? or is this on the...

How would I find one to rent (furnished) there? That was the essence of my question. I guess I am rental challenged as I haven't done that in decades. Advice please @Liberty , @squatting dog , @oldman Thank you for your help, but the question is still the same. How do I find someone there? Like...

I would like to start spending winters in Florida. Sarasota area. Have tried repeatedly to find an apartment or house that is not too expensive there. Contacted people, several Facebook groups, tried real estate agents. Nothing. Can anyone that has done this before advise how to find a reliable...

Posting this at Rick's request but not because he said so and this is MY personal opinion. I have researched and shopped around. He talked me though the questions and then helped select the better plans for us. I was well aware that he is an agent and will get paid for it from the insurance...

For those that have any of the alphabet soup of Medicare plans, what are the challenges/problems/no problems/regrets/etc? I am not talking about which plan you chose and why, I am interested in now that you had the time to live with it, how do you feel about your choice? Any regrets? Problems...

Thank you for such an informative discussion. I am not in danger of paying any more than $135 as DH is retired and I haven't worked since age 61 by design. I have a small pension and that is my only income right now. DH is receiving Social Security plus small income from investments. We don't...
