You should remove the battery and put it in a heated storage area. Put some fuel stabilizer in the fuel tank. Change the oil. Make sure the car is clean, put it in the garage and cover it. I also like to put it up on stands just to take the weight off the suspension. The biggest worry you have is the attack of mice. I use Bounce sheets inside of the car and engine compartment, I read somewhere they help repel the little bastards. Some use moth balls but the smell is too much for me.
If you are not going to drive it during the winter no need to change the thermostat.
Florida sounds nice right about now!
