7 tips to wintering in your home away from home.
In the next few months, thousands of northerners — so-called “snowbirds” — will escape their snowy, cold climates to spend the winter in warm, sunny spots in the southern or western part of the U.S. My wife and I will be among them. We’ve been swapping our Virginia home for one in Florida for the past four winters and boy, have we made a lot of snowbirding mistakes.
If you’re an active, Type A personality, you won’t be content with a laid-back beach community for long. So, you might want to rethink that isolated beach house and choose an area where you can keep active, go to different restaurants, hang out with others and live a lifestyle similar to the one you have up north.
Once you’re sure you’ve found the right spot, book the whole winter. If you can, talk with the landlord and book the following year before you leave. Good rentals go quickly. 4. Make new friends. One of the difficult things about being away from home for months at a time is the growing distance you’ll feel with friends and family. You try to stay current — FaceTiming, texting or calling frequently — but it’s not the same. You can’t get together for hours at a time over dinner, for instance.
6. Make your snowbirding home a second home. If you buy a place rather than renting one, it’s quite a bit easier to keep clothes and other necessities there so you don’t have to lug them all back and forth. But even if you’re renting, it’s possible to store some items either in the residence itself or in a nearby storage unit. Doing so will make traveling to and from much easier. And having your belongings with you will add to the feeling of your snowbird home feeling like “home.
