Did you move to Florida from somewhere else when you retired? We'd like to hear about it.

Did you move to Florida from somewhere else when you retired? We'd like to hear about it.

Today's lead story reports some of the good decisions and bad decisions made by a Seattle couple when they moved to a retirement community in Arizona and later decided to return to Seattle.

For a future story, we're interested in hearing from readers with similar experiences. What were the smart decisions you made before you moved to Florida? What mistakes did you make? What would you do differently if you had it to do again? What advice do you have for those considering moving here?
