Let me be the first to welcome you to the area.
We do try and hold GTG's... there's a lot car shows in the area in summer in which I try to make it to with a few other XF's, we always have a great time no matter how many of us turn out (normally the trips to and from are the most fun).

That's not going to be an easy transition, Florida to Maryland... no more 75 degree Christmas days.
