We don't get cold here in Seattle no snow this year around 40-50 days. One of my brothers lives in the middle of Mexico my local brother and his wife just got back from vacation to his house. My Mexico brother wants me to come see him and my local brother gave me money for my retirement party tonight towards a trip. They said do lots of walking to get ready they walked a lot over ruins and things so I need to get in better shape first. Maybe I will go in a year in January if I get a passport. I wonder if an Enhanced drivers license works like it does for Canada.
Snowbirds around here tend to go to Palm springs or AZ for a few months after Christmas. With airfare being reasonable people should all take a midwinter break to some place with a beach.

I have already purchased my tickets to the Virgin Islands. The warmest day this week is supposed to be 12 degrees F. Minnesota winters suck but they are a whole other level of hell when the temperatures have been running 20 degrees below average and average is 25 degrees!

We are staying on St. Thomas but I think we will take the ferry to St. John's for a day. I would like to see St. Croix but I don't think it will happen this trip.

My parents live in Miami. My Mom told me "This winter I have run the AC more than I ever have". (She has lived in Miami nearly 60 years).
There are a lot of annoying things about Miami, but the weather in the winter is not one of them.
RE: Ocala - the wether there is not nearly as nice as those on the beach. It gets hotter in the summer (no sea breaze) and it does get cold in the winter (well below freezing). It is much nicer to be near the coast.

The trouble with escaping the cold in January, early February is, YOU COME BACK AND IT IS STILL FREAKING COLD, AND YOU ARE USED TO 70 DEGREES, SO IT IS WORSE THAN EVER FOR YOU

There is that. The good thing about THAT is that it makes DF more determined to winter in Florida!

We are going to Miami for a long weekend in March. I already know I won't want to get on the plane to come home!
