THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I will finally be moving to the area in the next month or two! I have been wanting to make this move for years now and have been argueing with myself whether or not to do this. I'm not happy here in Iowa and I still think there is more opportunity for me in Florida rather then Iowa. I will be moving to the daytona / ormond beach area and have spent half of my time down there with relatives that live there full-time so I already know a lot about the area. Now all I need to do is find some work and everything will be perfect! Sorry for this pointless post I'm just super excited about this move and everything that comes with it. Any locals feel free to comment say hey or whatever.

You're in luck, perhaps the best gunshop in the country just relocated to Ormond Beach. Check out Florida Gun Exchange on Nova Rd. when you get settled.
On second thought, maybe you better get a job first, then check it out...

Also, check out Volusia gun and hunt club on SR 44: great range and excellent matches (IDPA, USPSA, 3 gun, tac carbine, etc.)

I lived in Daytona/Ormond for over 8 years (before i moved to lauderdale) so if you have any questions about the area feel free to send me a pm etc.

Yeah I will be checking on both of them. Like ya said better land some full time work first Lol. Lauderdale huh? Spent two weeks at beach combers down there. I love those beaches and the clear water and shells and everything it was a great trip. But ormond area is what I know and is where my family is at so that's where ill be. I just hope I can find a decent job its going to be hard converting to the city life but I'm hoping I can find something in the rural areas as that might be a better fit for me. Well we will see. Either way I think its time for change.

Yeah I knew from the last time we spoke you were somewhat close to me in age. I guess if you can say 7 years is close haha. Yeah Im nervous about this big move and finding new friends and a new job but hey no pain no gain I guess. I wish this damn economy would come back around. Im probably making this move at the worst time but we'll see I guess. I also wish that the Daytona area didnt have horrible wages but maybe Ill have to travel to find work so who knows. I've been looking every day trying to find something promising so as soon as I lock that down the trucks will be loaded and this guy will be on his way to the sunshine state ASAP.

Well good news all... just got a call from a reputable company and it sounds like they are going to offer me a position! Not going to go crazy yet but it sounds like everything will work out. Hopefully within a couple of days i will be on the interstates heading your way! I had litterally was just saying in my head how I wish it would just happen already and they called within 5 seconds of it haha. So now I need to sell off / get rid of everything and actually make this happen. Here we go!

Really?? I have spent plenty of time in the area and I know the bad and good parts. I hate to say it but news flash bud... do you watch the news at all? Society sucks everywhere...its part of life. Every town has their fair share of problems. Now I know Daytona isnt the best choice and well Im not exactly going to be in Daytona. But my family is in that area and thats where I'll be. On a side note, the job offer I recieved sounds like he wants me to wait till the first of the year to start so it might be a little longer before I get down there . But, then again, who knows I might just find a different job. Anyone in the area do a lot of fishing down there? Our house is right on the intercoastal and I love fishing off the pier and in the surf so hopefully I can find some fishing buddies.

Good luck with the move and welcome to Florida. I live in Flagler county about 20 mins north of Volusia. I usually shoot every other weekend at Stricklands.

Thanks for the well wishes. Yeah I will probably be going every weekend or every other like ya say. How busy is it usually? Hopefully not too many unsafe idiots? I think when I finally get everything a little more settled I will be looking to rent / rent to own / buy a house in the rural part of Flagler county somewhere. I really like the southern oaks and spanish moss and to me that looks like the acreage of my dreams haha. Also, it wouldnt be 10 ft or less to my neighbor like most of the houses in town. Anyone down for taking this guy out fishing a lot more when I get down there? Anyone have any connections to a rural type job down there?
