Clothes Packing Tips For A Move To Florida

Moving to Florida can be a huge adventure. From the sunshine and beaches to the amusement parks, museums, history and wildlife, there’s so much to see in this state that’s unique.

Unfortunately, many who make the trek south to lay down roots in Florida don’t pack right for the occasion. There is a false belief that Florida weather never makes the mercury dip below 70 degrees.

I’m here to tell you, it’s not true. Sure, the first winter seems balmy and practically perfect in every way. After a while, however, the occasional freezes really start to feel cold. With this in mind, it’s a very good idea for those moving south to pay attention to good clothes packing tips.

Moving-Florida.com has a fantastic article that offers all kinds of advice on what clothes to pack when moving to Florida. The clothes packing tips article doesn’t suggest taking every parka and jacket, but it strongly recommends bringing along at least one good jacket, sweaters, gloves and even a warm hat.

While it’s quite true most days in Florida are balmy and sometimes down right hot, it can and does get cold, as well. Finding the right cold weather gear can be difficult in this state, so bringing them along for the ride is absolutely in order.

Take it from this Florida resident, a good warm jacket is like gold during a wintertime freeze.

Moving to a New Florida City

Given the recent cold weather where I live, moving to Florida can’t come too soon. But along with the excitement comes a bit of apprehension – how can I meet people, find out where to shop, locate the best vet for my cat – in short, how does one get settled into a new city beyond unpacking boxes and buying a local newspaper?

Luckily there is a great website called Moving-Florida that talks about moving to a new city that gives loads of tips on getting settled. Unpacking is important to give your new home or apartment a sense of order, but you can also study that newspaper for concerts, interesting bars and restaurants, and other local neighborhood activities that get you comfortable with your new city. You probably had a load of hobbies in your old city, so take it up where you’re at now – join a hiking club if you’re the outdoors type, or local theatre group.

One of the best ways to meet people is to volunteer for a charitable event, be it the humane society, the local symphony orchestra, or Habitat for Humanity. There are loads of opportunities to get you going in your new home.

Moving to a new Florida city can be one of the best moves you can ever make, and with a little determination, becoming a native shouldn’t take long at all.
