Lisa, As a resident of South Florida, I can testify that it is a great place to live. Weather is good, even with the hurricanes, sports are good, food is great, and medical care, due to the large number of elderly, is phenomenol. The cancer center I go to at University of Miami, Jackson Memorial Center is top drawer for head and neck and are always looking for medical staff. Do you speak Spanish? It isn't required, but is a big help. If you decide to look down here, I can point you into some directions as my wife works for a pediatric group.
