Destination Florida... the Guide to a Successful Relocation

Rating:
Summary: Fairly useless if you're looking for Florida specific info
Review: This book is about 75% fluff that has nothing to do with Florida at all. Information like "can you afford to move" and budgetting and getting ready to move can be found elsewhere. The actual Florida specific information (about 80 pages) is mostly phone numbers, general information that could be obtained elsewhere easily (like residential information), useless (to a younger person) will and estate planning information, and a few helpful pages of comments from people who moved to Florida. The rest of the book could just as well have been cut from "Destination Guam" or "Destination Texas" or any other book about moving. I get the feeling that the book was written specifically for older people moving from the New York area to Florida, and for myself, a 35 year old potential mover from the Midwest, the book is almost entirely useless. I'm still looking for a good book on relocation to Florida issues.
