I don't know why mbonga would recommend living in Orlando. I have lived in Tampa my whole life, 29 years, and Orlando would not be in my top ten places to go if I had to relocate in Florida. I just personally don't like it...too much traffic, too touristy, and too far from the beach.

My wife and I are looking at a possible move to Ft. Lauderdale in a couple years to finish bachelors and masters programs, so I guess I can recommend it, lol.

Personally, I just like the beach communities, they just have a more old-school Florida feel to them. I do not frequent the panhandle, so I can not recommend anything there. Miami is very busy and you should know spanish if you want to live there, it will make things easier...lol. The Bay Area is busy, but not terrible. Plenty of stuff to do, lots o' jobs, not too tiki unfortunately, but you can't have everything...
