Congratulations, and it's good to hear that you will not be restricted
from continued work.
Ottawa to Florida is quite a move, but I can only assume you know what
you're doing and that they've made it very worth your while. Consider,
also, if you currently own a dark colored car that you might want to own
one that is lighter -- the heat down there is such that this will make a
difference. I'm personally of the personality that would be interested
in moving farther north to actually get some snow again (I live in
Newark, NJ and the snows seem to have stopped in the last few years),
and to escape association with the US, which is kind of a disappointing
country as of late.
As far as what Kern said, though, I wouldn't consider Florida's summers
similar to Maryland. Of course I never lived in Maryland, but I believe
Florida's humidity changes things quite a bit. One nice thing about
Florida, though, is the changeable weather; if it is pouring rain at
10:00a, it likely will not be by 2:00p... seems a whole day is seldom
ruined by poor weather.
