Elizabeth and Ron started heading south to escape the cold in 2010. At first, they rented houses in different areas of Florida looking for the right place to set up more permanently. Eventually in 2014, they found home on Longboat Key.

Elizabeth met Ron Plashkes while working at a Hamilton, Ontario computer store. Elizabeth was promoting Ron’s new accounting software, PCLaw to the local legal community. For Ron it was love at first sight. Elizabeth took a bit longer.
