Chill first dates near Mount Dora?

• Upvotes

Looking for things to do for my birthday weekend (November 6-8) within an hour from Mount Dora. We are both nerdy introverts that struggle in crowded spaces. I'd love to find some good picnic spots and pretty spots to sit and chill, and maybe a few places to go on dates. Ideally places that don't involve playing games (arcade, escape room, sports, etc), clubs, theme parks or places people go mainly for photo ops. Marvel nerd and science nerd who both love nature, music, crafts, animals, being comfy and being lazy. I just moved here a few days ago from the Seattle, WA area. Any recommendations?

0 Upvotes

Can someone help us recommend where should we book decent rooms near Key West?

Have booked our flights in mid March 2027. In total 8 boys.

We checked airbnb but the prices are over the roof. Marriot, Fairmont is 100ish per person for a single night.

Any other options that we should consider?

EDIT: Looking for 2 beds only with 2 bed in each room so total 4 queen/king beds. Enough for 8 people just to spend couple hours at night.

Does anyone live in Winston Towers in Sunny Isles Beach?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been visiting Sunny Isles Beach and am thinking about moving here. The area seems very walkable: there’s a public school, Publix, and plenty of shops nearby. I work from home, so I wouldn’t need to commute, and my kids could walk to school.

I’ve seen two-bedroom, two-bathroom units listed for around $350,000–$400,000, which seems like a good price compared with other buildings in the area. Winston Towers also seems to have solid amenities, and the HOA is under $1,000.

If you live there, how do you like it? Are there any downsides or costs I should know about?

Where to Move?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am considering moving to Florida but I am not sure where.

I am 35 and unfortunately I am starting over with very little.

Aside from some money from inheritance I don't have alot to work with.

I do however have an extensive background in tourism, as well as holisitiv wellness, and intuitive and somatic coaching.

It is my hope to find a supportive job, form a community of close friends, focus on my health, build my personal practice, and hopefully meet a life partner.

While I understand this is a tall order I have some inkling that Florida could be the right place for me.

So, any suggestions on where to aim to set up?

TIA for your insights.

Implant supported dentures in Florida - worth the upgrade?

2 Upvotes

My lower denture floats and it's embarrassing. I can't eat steak, I can't bite into an apple, and I'm constantly adjusting it with my tongue. I've been reading about implant supported dentures and here's what I've learned: they snap onto two or more implants so they stay put. They're more affordable than full arch implants and easier to maintain. The bone loss also slows down once implants are in place. My Florida Implants offers implant dentures with financing. Anyone made the switch from regular dentures? Was it worth it?

Does the Florida DMV in Broward allow walk-ins for Class E Driving Exam?

1 Upvotes

The earliest I see that I can book an appointment is about three weeks from now. I know that they allow walk-ins early in the morning at around 8 AM.

Do they allow walk-ins for the actual class E driving exam that's taken on the road (not the knowledge exam)? I have my learner's permit and qualify to take the exam and get my driver's license.

If anyone knows the answer or has any experience with this, please let me know. Thank you in advance!

1 month in Miami as a 30-year-old solo female traveller — my first time heading to Miami

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’ll be travelling from Singapore to Miami in January and am planning to stay for 1 month. My first time heading to the US.

I’d love some recommendations on the following:

  • Best areas to stay: Which neighbourhoods would you recommend for a solo female traveller?
  • Nightlife: I like to see areas with good bars & clubs
  • Shopping
  • Food: Places to try different cuisines
  • Beaches
  • Day trips: I do want to see places beyond Miami
  • Transportation: I don’t have a driving licence, so I’ll be relying on Uber & Lyft

Any tips / recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

First time in the US – 5 days solo in Florida (Nov 2–7). What would you do?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
This will be my first time visiting the US! I’ll be arriving in Miami on November 2 and need to be in Orlando by November 7 to meet up with some friends. Everything in between is completely flexible!
I originally thought about spending all 5 nights in Miami, but I’m open to exploring other parts of Florida, staying in different cities, or taking a short trip somewhere along the way.
I’m in my early 20s, traveling solo, with a total budget of around $1,000 for those 5 nights. I don’t care much about fancy hotels or restaurants. I’d much rather save on accommodation and spend my money on unique experiences and adventures.
I’m interested in nature, outdoor activities, skydiving, exploring new places, and meeting other travelers. The Everglades and Key West have caught my attention, but I’m open to pretty much anything worth experiencing.
I’m also considering hostels since I’d love to meet people and possibly explore together. I don’t plan on renting a car unless it’s really worth it, as I’m not particularly confident driving in the US.
So, what would you do with these 5 days? Would you stay in Miami, explore the Keys, head up the coast, or do something completely different? Any recommendations for social hostels, meeting fellow travelers, affordable transportation, or experiences I shouldn’t miss?
I’d especially appreciate firsthand experiences and advice from other solo travelers!
Thanks in advance!

Best dental implants provider in Florida for full arch?

2 Upvotes

I've been putting this off for way too long. My dentist says I need full arch dental implants on top and honestly I don't know where to start. I've gotten two quotes already and they were $18k apart, which makes zero sense to me. One place quoted just the implant posts, another quoted everything including the final teeth. That alone taught me to ask what's actually included before comparing numbers. Has anyone here actually gotten All On 4 dental implants in Florida from a provider they'd recommend? I keep seeing Florida Dental Implant Specialists in Boynton Beach pop up and they have a 3-D CT scanner on site plus free consults. Anyone have real experience with them or someone else local? Just want a straight answer from someone who's been through it.

Moving to Citrus County Fl

Hello! I am moving to Citrus County florida in February and we have visited many times and love the area. I have been apart of a lot of the Citrus Springs groups on Facebook but am just curious what people really think of the area on here?
I absolutely loved all the nature and all the outdoor recreation and don’t really mind not being close to large shopping centers/city centers. I just see on Facebook there tends to be a lot of hate towards Citrus County from people in Citrus County lol! Thank you in advance!

When can I expect to get a mail in ballot for voting if I requested one?

2 Upvotes

It’s my first year voting, and I went online to request a mail in ballot a few weeks ago, and it hasn’t arrived in the mail yet. Do they mail out all of the mail ballots at the same time or do they send them out based on when you made the request? Do they mail them out when early voting starts? Sorry if this is a stupid question I just want to make sure something didn’t happen to my ballot.

Moving to Florida in December, what should I expect/do?

0 Upvotes

Hey! I’m moving to Florida (more specifically Orlando) in December. I have never lived in nor visited the Southeast. I come from a coldish town close to a volcano in Mexico. I have lived in the Rocky Mountains area, Southern South America, and Central Mexico. I’ve been in Veracruz before (which is located on the Gulf) and Buenos Aires (a seaport city in Argentina).

What should I expect?
What should I do to avoid any bad or even dangerous experiences?
Any tips/ideas?

So far, I was told to never leave anything wet because mold might form. And, to leave shoes in a high place inside a laundry bag to avoid bugs inside them.

But, overall, I’m not sure what to expect. I will live in Florida (not only Orlando) for 2 years. I might be in places like Sanford, Apopka, Kissimmee, Deltona, Leesburg, and other surrounding areas. I won’t be in Tampa, Ft. Laurerdale, Jacksonville, or Tallahasee.
