Take a vacation over here.
Rent a house/apartment in the area you would like to live in for a week and see for yourself before going all in. Born and raised in Miami. I love this city. I have lived in NYC and GA. Nothing beats Miami. You trade off open dry land for hiking and shooting for open oceans for fishing and water activities. |

Does your family live in the Miami area?
How often could you really use the benefit? Often weekends get eaten up with other responsibilities. Check in the Florida HTF and see if you really want to lilve in Miami, not sure how the crime rate is there today but it was pretty high. |

We would definitely do that before making a final decision. Wife unit loves the beach and ocean, plus low-altitude is good for her health. I call the mountains home, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Would you have any advice for areas to look at? We can be up to 100 miles away, but would probably want to keep it under 50. Low crime but not outlandishly expensive?

No family here either, they are all up in central/northern UT. I think we'd probably be able to go 1-2 times a month for the 3-day cruises. We're pretty low-maintenance and can set our schedules however we want.

Don't worry, I spent a year in Brasil having to always wear a tie/long-sleeve shirts, or even a suit, with no vehicle, no AC, and no fan for half the time. I can handle it. We live where we live to make things easier on my wife, not myself.

I was looking for a quick website about mean elevation above sea level so I could make a joke about Miami and found this BS.
http://www.climatecentral.org/news/the-future-is-now-for-sea-level-rise-in-south-florida/ Not one paragraph into it and I'm LOL. What's your count on the "facts" claimed in the article that are total bullshit? Sorry for the tangent, but it struck me as interesting. |

Let me get this straight.
You have never been on a cruise and have never been to FL but you are considering moving to Miami to go on free cruises 
Why don't you take a vacation, fly to Miami and go on a cruise and see what it is like. You might just hate both of them |

You might just hate both of them Hence the title 'Should I consider'. Just looking for input from people who have done some cruising, and people from the area. We're clearly not going to move if we don't enjoy it. ETA I would be extremely surprised if I didn't enjoy it. Wife unit has done it before, and she pretty much just wants beach somewhere. Getting access to beaches in the Caribbean would just be added bonus. I tend to enjoy just about anything/anywhere, so it probably won' be an issue. |
