winter home

[JerryCarr]

Bear and I had considered retiring in Florida at one point before deciding to come here. The downsides to FL for us were very high property taxes compared to Hawaii (or even Georgia where we lived before) and their apparent inability to competently stage an election in 2000. FL does NOT have a state income tax, but as our income would be less, we were better off tax-wise here in Hawaii. And then there are the far more frequent hurricanes. Life in Hawaii is not perfect, but we are glad we chose to move here.

Cheers,
Jerry
