well I've been here for about 2 1/2 months now. I can honestly say I love the job although it is very challenging and definitely not what was advertised. Florida will take getting used to. I haven't found everything I want yet although I haven't looked a lot either.
Still hanging out in the camper, thinking about a house but I hate to be stuck with two of them. The house up north is not selling at all. no surprise there. Going to bulldoze it I think and build a hunting cabin. Not an ideal location but it will do.
It's been fun meeting new people here, both at work and OSP at the pub. the "adventure" part is over. Now I have to start "settling in" I guess.
I have done a few weekends at the beach of course.

was it worth it? tough to answer. I don't have a lot of friends being mostly a loaner type. Though now days I find I miss the few times we would hang out. I don't miss my old job at all. I do miss my garage, especially after doing a brake job in the baking heat here. In the sand of course.
I miss the house, the girlfriend and even the dogs. (though they'll be here soon).
Lots of new opportunities here though so I'll explore a bit before I decide to go back to familiar ground. Not too sure about hunting here with snakes and bugs.LOL I may go north for that.
The bad part is even though I love this job it is the most stressful position I've ever had. Not sure how long I can keep up this pace. Many have tried recently and been let go or quit.

all in all I'd do it again but, I like an "adventure" now and then. I tend to get bored when things stay the same for too long.
