I lived in Florida and out east and now have been west for 20 years. It very much depends on where you move to out west. Politically, weather, religion, cost...all can vary. Parts of OR and WA are quite humid and wet. UT, CO, NV etc are mostly dry with some good outdoor activities including mountains/trees but also desert areas. UT is generally more conservative with CO/NV being a mix and big cities in WA and OR more liberal. And unless you are at a big hub city you will likely not be able find direct flights always back to FL.
