DD,
That's a great post. Many boomers move to the Florida Villages; but, hurricane season keeps me from doing that. Couldn't stand to evacuate that often. Born, raised, and spent my entire life here, not far from Lake Erie shores, guess I'll stay. I've been through Alabama. It's pretty. My sister lives in Arizona. She loves it there. I'd love to fly to Hawaii but hubby won't get in an airplane. Hence that won't happen. Tenn., Va., the Carolinas are beautiful. But my heart and soul is here, up North in the Eastern US. When you retire, you wonder how you found time enough to work. You simply get busier.
