We have a condo in Naples Florida that we go to in the winter. This year we are leaving here on November 23 and will stay till sometime in April. Definitely take a sewing machine if you can. Pick projects now that you want to work on while there. Have your quilting notions, fabric and anything else you need to have in a bin so it is all in one place for you. Where in Florida will you be? I have been in WV twice now, Charleston, this last Spring it was beautiful there. Like the previous poster said, perhaps you could make up some kits to take and work on.
