Did you see Escape to the Sun....

LOL Carene

It was something seeing the shuttle take off wasn't it - had an extra poignancy about it of course.

I enjoyed this series, pity it wasn't on at a better time. It was like the Seaworld programme that they scheduled at 9.30am!!!

I really got into this series.
I think we watched all but a couple of them. I just set the video from 10:30 to 2:30 every day.

The only disappointing thing about it was that they seem to make it sound so simple to move out to Florida. I don't think that they mentioned once the fact that you have to buy a business to stay permanently.
They made it sound like you could just pack your bags and go.

If it were that simple I wouldn't be here now!

I've got hooked on a programme on UKbright ideas called a house in Florida. It reports mainly on a family who have moved to Conch Key. They've bought a motel which they are doing up - it certainly seems very hard work.

I like that programme too Libby.
I'm sorry to say I too only caught the last episode of Escape to the sun. How long had it been on? My mother in law very helpfully said to me to-day (the day after the last one), "oh I could have taped it for you, I watched all of them." Thanks alot mother in law, she didn't even bother to tell me that it was on, and she knows all about my Florida obsession!

Yes, BBC should repeat. preferably after 6.00 pm!!!!

i also watched this great programe and loved it but the only thing was i got really depressed at the end of every episode because i was so green with envy at all the families who have made it and now live there
margaret just got to keep playing the lottery!!

If you have Freeview Digital, there is a similar series on Uk BrightIdeas called Florida House, which covers a variety of Florida things. It is on two or three times a day and is worth catching.
