God must have something great planned for them.
So sorry to hear she's moving to FL, I moved from there five years ago and have not regreated it. As far as culture shock, I hope she knows a little spanish, because that's all you hear there. They are very crude and rude people. As far as the traffic goes, I hope she does not live too far from work, because communting will not be plesant. There's like a light at every conner and nobody beliveves in stopping for stop signs or giving you signals, you have to be a defensive driver. I hope the move will be worth while for her and her family. I know, I lived in Florida for 18 years Hollywood, and I retired and moved to Texas have not regretted it one bit. I sure don't miss the Hurrican season. Tell her good luck.
