Hey Anthony,
Off list...
I got some great suggestions.
Orlando is 1200 miles for me...that's a stretch.
Houston area is right at 1000.
The thing is my sister lives in the Dallas area.  700 something miles from here.
I could non-stop that.  Spend the night there and then drive on down to the coast.
I really never paid much attention to the weather in Austin although, as you probably know, it's
a nice place.
I've lived all over the place but consider Texas home even though I moved away in 1987...33 years ago!
Yikes!
My parents are gone now and only my sister remains there.
Funny about the winter.  I spent the last two years of high school in the mountains...doesn't matter where
but learned (had!) to ski.  When I came back to go to college I was on the National Ski Patrol a couple years...
I was a lot littler then!  I loved the winter...hated the summer and couldn't wait for snow.
Now...

I have been dying to do this very thing. We are actually thinking about doing a little D4 migration south for a long weekend (short week) of pattern flying. I think someone mentioned Nashville, TN as possible destination but my memory is a little fuzzy. It was in response to my original question; how many hours south do I have to drive to get to decent weather for a few solid days of pattern flying. From Northeastern Ohio we figured a good 10-11 hours should get you to about 70 degrees depending on the time of year.  

If someone is planning such a trip I would love to pack up and join the caravan!
 
Anthony

I have an off the wall question for the list.
I'm not a winter weather person.  That being said I probably 
couldn't live in a worst place but you have to go where the job is.
When we lived in Lincoln it wasn't so bad since there was so much to do there.
Since moving to Iowa 5 years ago it's been a different story.
OK...enough of John's pity party.
I've come up with an idea.  I'm thinking about, starting next winter, going south
for 5 - 7 days.  Somewhere I can get a week long membership in a club, hole up 
in a Motel 6 and fly for a week... Something to look forward to the first half of winter
then something to last me until spring.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where?
Thanks!
JLK
