Jet Blue’s headquarters is currently located in Queens, New York. Dave Barger, CEO of JetBlue announced that the company is considering relocating their headquarters and 800 employees from Queens to Orlando!

Here is a great link for all of you planning on relocating to Florida. It is a compiled list of links for the State of Florida. You can find driver’s license info., employment, schools, etc.. Some changes have recently been made regarding what is needed when acquiring your Florida’s Driver’s License. Being prepared and saving time is a good thing. Also, there is some interesting information on Florida wildlife, architecture, and history.

Moving to Florida must have information.

Employ Florida Marketplace offers resume building, career counseling, and has a huge database of available positions. They are combined with Workforce Central Florida. Personally, I find the Employ Florida site easier to navigate but the Workforce site has  school/training grant information available.

Relocation Networking Solutions will work with you, helping to make your dream of relocating to Florida a reality.

WOW! Coming off a very cold weekend here in Central Florida.  Starting Friday night until Sunday night, it has been unusually cold.  On Saturday, many parts of Central Florida even saw snow! Snow in Florida?!?! I know, its crazy. Most of Central Florida did see sleet and experience frozen water puddles and definitely cold temperatures.

Saturday was the Half marathon at Disney and Sunday was the Mickey’s Marathon.  The high on Saturday reached a chilling 48 degrees.  It has been reported that Sunday’s marathon starting temperature was a bone chilling 28 degrees. But it didn’t stop people from running in Disney’s Premier race.

The cold blast drove Florida manatees into Blue Springs State Park for a warm water temperature of 72 degrees. That temperature stays the same all year round, helping the manatees stay warm during the winter months.  Many people braved the cold temperatures on Saturday to get a glimpse of God’s Gentle Creatures at the State Park.

Now while the weekend is over, doesn’t mean the cool temperatures are gone just yet.  Central Florida will continue to see cooler temps with a slight warmup on Friday.

I am always scouring the internet looking for new or improved moving tips to pass along to my clients.  I came across a GREAT list on About.com and one particular tip that stood out!

Tip #124: Color coordinate your moving boxes to match the rooms they are going in. For instance, assign your son’s bedroom with a blue sticker. As you are packing up his room, you will label everything with a BLUE sticker. Then when you get to your new house, you can put a blue sticker on the door. This way when all movers are moving in boxes they will know which boxes go into which rooms!

In addition to assigning room colors, designate a wall or closet in that room for boxes or misc. items.  This will keep your movers (or you) from having to rearrange the room when you bring in the big furniture.  Plus everything can be organized much better from one pile than several other piles.

Last blog I talked about how close the quaint little city of Mount Dora was to Orlando.  Just a short 45 minute drive and you are in small city heaven.

Last night my family and I drove out to see a dear friend.  He said the kids would love it because this time of year Mount Dora goes all out with their Christmas decorating.  He was right, almost 2 million Christmas lights cover the pretty little lake city.  It was absolutely beautiful!

The marina was decorated with Reindeers, Santas, Carousels, sleighs and a Nativity scene.  The rest of the city had lighted trees, light poles, sidewalks.  It was just a Christmas dream!

We had a nice dinner at Pisces Rising overlooking the lake.  The restaurant was all decorated for Christmas and playing soft Christmas music in the background.

While its Florida and 80 degrees, who can resist decorated Palm Trees, Santa in swim shorts and reindeers on water skis.  We Floridians know how to have the ultimate Tropical Christmas.

If you or someone you know is relocating to Orlando, call our experts at RNS 407.595.4474.

If you have just been relocated or are thinking about relocating to Orlando,Florida, now is the perfect time of the year.  This it the time of the year when the temperatures drop below 90.

Yes you heard me right!

Its starts to cool down. Now if you are from up north, this may feel like summer to you. But its perfect. Cool breezy weather, the sound of the palm trees swaying, cooler nights.

There are some year round perks to living in the Sunshine State, and living in Orlando (where everything is centrally located) is the best part.  Here is a short list of year round activities to do:

1. Beach. The water may get too cold to swim in, but its always a nice time to take a walk (or jog) on the beach.  Many places in New Symrna and Daytona have restaurants right on the beach.

2. Fishing.  You can always find a nice fishing hole, either by canoe, kayak or fishing charter.  You can fresh water fish or salt water fish.

3. Antiquing. Mount Dora is a cute little city about 45 minutes west of Orlando and is a great place to look through Antique or specialty stores.  You can cruise the Dora Canal or even just sit outside and enjoy a nice cocktail.

4. Christmas Entertainment.  Every year at Cranes Roost park in Altamonte Springs, there is some spectacular christmas decorations.  Its fun for kids and adults.  The best part is its all outside, perfect for a nighttime stroll. (and its not too cold)

5. Park Avenue, Winter Park.  There are so many restaurants that have tables right there on the sidewalk.  Its perfect to sit down enjoy some appetizers and people watch.  Now that the weather has cooled down, you don’t have to worry about it being so hot.

So here is just my short list of awesome Orlando activities to do now that the weather has cooled down.

There are plenty of tips and tricks that you can use to help you during your relocation to Orlando Florida, but one simple piece of advice is to use a Last Out/First In box. This can be especially helpful if you are traveling long distance to get to your new home, this way you will have all of the essentials with you in one place, at all times.

A last out, first in box is a container that you can keep important items in whether you are still packing your old home or have already relocated to or your new home in Orlando. There are plenty of random things that you don’t necessarily think about keeping out while you are packing but always wish you left out so that it would be easier to use or find later.

You can include a variety of items in your last out, first in box including: Medication, toilet paper, keys, jewelry, toiletries, a shower curtain, important records, cleaning supplies, pet food, milk, snacks, plastic cutlery, paper towels, can openers, tools or items placed in your homes safe.

By keeping all these items in one box or storage bin, it will be easy to locate all these items to make your relocation go much smoother. This will keep you from frantically opening and going through dozens of boxes to find that one item that you need so badly.

When you are relocating to a different city, sometimes it is easy to get rid of too much furniture before the move, thinking that it is going to make the moving process easier. We have all been in that position, you’re looking at your family room couch and thinking to yourself, “Maybe we should just toss it and get a new one when we get there.” Or maybe your bed frame and dining table broke while it was being transported in the moving van. Lucky for you, the new Orlando resident, there are plenty of places in town for you to buy furniture to furnish your new home.
Some local places to pick up new furniture are Ikea, American Signature, Ashley Furniture, and Rooms To Go. If you are still in the process of relocating, and want the furniture to be ready for you when you arrive in Orlando, place your order on-line so you can get the ship date to be as close to your move date as possible.
One of the benefits of needing to buy new furniture is that it gives you a fresh start on decorating your new home, Florida style. Florida has a very eclectic decorating style since it is made up of a stew of different types of people from around the country. Some great local stores in Orlando to buy items to decorate your new house with are Pier 1, Bed Bath & Beyond, and even Target.
Use your relocation to your advantage and set yourself up to be happy in your new home. For more local recommendations on relocation services, call 407-595-4474. Relocation Networking Solutions is there to answer any of your questions about moving and to recommend stores and services to make your relocation to Orlando go as smooth as possible.

Relocating can be stressful on anybody, but for most children it is a life changing event. As a family it is important to make your relocation as comfortable as possible for everyone and to keep a special eye on your children, even while you have plenty of moving responsibilities of your own.

One of the best ways to help your child welcome the idea of moving is to show them as much as you can about Orlando before hand, so they know what to expect and have something to look forward to. Showing pictures to your child of your new house, their new school, ball parks, dance studios, whatever your child is into, will help give them a better idea of what Orlando is like.

Once you finally relocate to Orlando, it is important to take the time to introduce your child to all of the places you showed them before. When you have a break between painting and unpacking boxes, drive around and show your child their new school, local library, and local recreational areas like parks and lakes. It is also nice to visit some of the unique places Orlando has to offer like the Orlando Science Center or the Orlando Museum of Art. By acquainting your child and family with these new places it helps your new area feel more like home and gives your children something to talk about with their new friends at school. It is easy to put such outings on the backburner since other responsibilities may feel more immediate, but helping your child adjust to their new area is something that will pay off in the long run. It usually takes about six months to a year to finally feel at home in your new area, so help  that process move along faster just by taking a few extra hours during your move to help your child feel more comfortable.

Relocation Networking Services is here to help with all of your relocation needs. We know that relocating to a new area with children is an extra responsibility, so let us help you decide what schools are best and give you other advice that will help your children be successful. Give us a call today at 407-595-4474 to make relocating easier for your entire family.

Once you relocate to Orlando, you might begin to wonder what are some fun things to do that don’t involve Disney or SeaWorld? Don’t get me wrong, the theme parks are great, but there are plenty of other things to do that don’t involve people dressed up in costumes. You should enjoy the perks of your new location, so here are a few ideas to help you get started.

If you are looking to do something one-on-one with nature, head down to Wekiwa Springs State Park and take a trip down the Wekiva River in a canoe or kayak. The trip takes a couple hours, but is well worth the journey and is a great way to learn about the native plants and animals of your new homes region. Once you move to Orlando you will discover that there are plenty of rivers to paddle down, so purchasing a kayak or canoe is also a fun investment for your family and home and a great way to become more familiar with the area.

If you like to be outside, but aren’t so much into wildlife there are plenty of neighboring cities that are easy to get to from your new home that have unique, historic buildings and quaint shopping centers. Winter Park is built around its historic Rollins College and has streets with plenty of shops and restaurants for you to stroll along and relax. After all your unpacking is finished, treat you family to a day trip to historic St. Augustine! St. Augustine is very similar to Winter Park, except that it houses one of the oldest forts and school houses in America. If you have recently relocated to Florida or are planning to in the future, this is a great place to learn some of Florida’s history and have fun at the same time.

There are plenty of places in Orlando for you to explore and have fun, that don’t cost a fraction of what a theme park would cost.
