Yes, Canadian born. But I have been to Florida several times and I pretend it's "my" little place in the sun...it's my beach.....I've visited alone for 2 weeks one time....loved that time.....had my son and husband go with another....a friend another time.....and me alone for a few days here and there. I'm feeling the NEED to go again for some "me" time. Maybe if I make enough "steem" I'll be able to do this journey again.
