Perhaps one of the most interesting states in the US. Most part of Florida is a peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Sea with the Bay of Mexico on the other side. Apart from Florida, most part of the state has an exotic subtropical climate, though it is very close to the sea and hence humid and tropical.
Well, that’s the boring Geography part; what’s really interesting is, Florida offers a great quality of life. Not only is the cost of living low, it also has good schools and a quite a few good colleges, very low crime rates, and very low mortgage rates. So, if you’re moving to Florida Two Thumbs Up! Way to go.
There’s something you should think about though�"and, I am not trying to scare you�"the possibility of Hurricanes in the coastal areas. What with the devastating ‘Rita’ and the even deadlier ‘Katrina,’ you probably want to know everything there is to know about the tropical cyclones. Read up on the trends and forecasts by climatologists and/or if you want to act “sane" steer clear of the coast.
Demographically Florida has an older mix of population in the Northwestern counties; where a lot of retired people migrate every year. South Florida on the other hand is Urban with a large youth population and dependent on the military and space programs for most of its employment. The budgetary decisions taken by the Federal Government has a severe impact on the population fluctuations in the southern parts of Florida.
So, now you know where to go if you’re retired. If you’re looking for a job though, it is best you spend some time on the internet before you make your move. If you have a college degree, chances are you will get a job very easily in the state. The employment opportunities are constantly burgeoning over here. Or if you’re more interested in business�"the Florida State Government is very business friendly. The economy growth in the State of Florida is far ahead of most other states in the nation.

And if you’re done planning everything, it’s time you looked forward to the beautiful State of Florida and almost 365 days of sunshine!
The reason I say this is that in particular the state of Florida, officially known as the sunshine State has actually reported an increase on last years figures. This is despite reports that the sunshine State was losing favour with visitors. Official tourism figures for 2006 show that the unparalleled natural beauty of the state as well as the clean and pristine beaches plus the world-class theme parks have helped to bring back visitors for more.
It would appear that the total number of tourists visiting Florida rose to 18 4.6 million people last year. This was an increase of over 1.2% on the previous year and yet to gain goes to prove that despite imminent reports of its demise, tourism in the states of Florida is alive and kicking.
One of the major influences and activists in this sustained growth in visit to a truism to the state of Florida is the fact that as far as British visitors are concerned the strength of the pound has made the possibility of being able to visit the United States of America such an attractive option. Whereas possibly in the past, British tourists may have thought twice about travelling across the Atlantic in the numbers that they have done, the sudden weakness in the dollar sterling exchange rate (or growing strength depending on which point to view you wish to take) has simply made it an opportunity not to be mixed.
And what opportunities exist as to Florida have. Quite frankly in the state of Florida you have almost everything, I say almost everything and by that I mean I don't think there are too many skiing resorts in Florida but then I guess you can't have everything.
That being said if we forget about the absence of ski resorts everything else can be found within the state of Florida. The stunning weather, charm, character and tradition of old time Florida make it a truly wonderful experience.
Perhaps apart from the sun, the other element to be found in large quantities in Florida is water. With water there are two associations, firstly you cannot move in the state of Florida for boats of all sizes ranging from tiny little dinghies to some of the world's largest cruise liners. Aboard the latter you can cruise the Florida coastline and visit all of Florida's port cities and aboard the former you can visit that of a major tourist attraction associated with water in Florida namely the everglades.
Florida Everglades is that largest sub tropical wilderness in the United States of America. Visitors can see rare and endangered species like the American Alligator, West Indian manatee and Florida panther. No visit to Florida would be complete without a visit.
