Our Tropical Adventure continues in Florida, as our lease will be ending in February. With Florida leading the country in foreclosures - and the economy the way it is . . . we decided to purchase a condo in downtown West Palm. We have been renting for 2 years, and the time is right. We will miss the incredible view at Marina Grande, but, living in a high rise felt like a hotel - and you cannot walk anywhere. Susan started looking about the first of November, and it is amazing how many places are out there. She found the Loft Condos at 101 Clematis, and contacted our realtor (that's another story) - and we started looking. When we walked into the loft, after looking at about 4 other places, we felt at home. It is small (the way we like it) - you can see the intercoastal (my criteria) - over the bridge to the barrier island to the beach (both our criteria) - I'll be 10 minutes from work (my criteria)- and you can walk to everything, restaurants, shops, library, grocery store, and Starbucks. (Susan's criteria) - Good Feng Shui here, it feels good! After a grueling 2.5 weeks of offers and counter offers - we settled last night on an agreeable price. Today we negotiate with the lending institutions - hopefully to close before we come home for Christmas. No guest room, but our futon opens up into a queen size bed. Hopefully, this will be our new Florida home.

Awesome! You still have a view! Congratulations guys! See you soon in VA!
Luv,

This is adorable! I love small living spaces too - maybe, partly because I hate taking time to clean! Too much LIVING to do, and not enough time in a day. The view looks great too and it is so cool walking to places. Jim & I have re-discovered that having the flat. Congratulations.
Love you and can't wait to see you this month!
I can't believe you are planning on living in such squaller! Maybe you can find a better job and find something in a better neighborhood? You-ins just hang in there and hopefully you can move out of the hood where it is safe for Susan to go out! We will pray for you until the republicans get back in office and help you out of this mess! Can we organize a can drive to help out? :))))) Happy for you both! Look forward to seeing u over the holidays!
Luv-Nate
Nathan is such a hoot! New place looks great hope the paperwork all goes easy. Hope to see you while you are here.

Now is this an ironic situation...the most hospitible people I know with no guest room?? Of course you are both so open and giving in reality your whole place will be much more than a guest room.
Congrats and a smart move I think...so much like the Brigadier but with levels.
