We're snowbirds out west now, spending the expanded summers outside of Arizona either in our favorite place on earth, around Lake Tahoe, or at our home in a desolate part of S. Dakota. We also as I'm sure you've seen the comments about, travel around in our RV as often as we can. In 2008, 2009, & 2010 we took 3 separate month-long 10,000 mile trips (in cars) around the 48 states and Alaska because we wanted to see every nook and cranny in this great country. Just too much to opine about. And honestly, the only part I would never consider living in is the deep south. Mosquitoes don't like me--they LOVE my 100% greaseball Italian skin. I lived a year in Hawaii and that got old real fast. LV doesn't interest me as a place to live--great place to visit only.
Interesting. My old Coach and his wife spend 6 months in Colorado and 6 months in Arizona. After his basketball coaching days which landed him in the Hall of Fame, he decided to coach girls golf just for something to do. He loved it. So his and wife started golfing. They bought a house on a golf course in Colorado, then found a townhome on a golf course in Arizona. Golf, year around, what a great idea! Just one problem. After all that, he decided he didn't like to play anymore.

I think I'm about to embark on a new journey in life. One that will be to travel alone and make new friends each day and visiting old friends along the way. I'm getting fairly good at it. My friends, who recently celebrated their 50th anniversary tell me about their travels, so it serves as an outline of someone who's been there. My daughter and I went to Coos Bay, OR one Christmas and I've been to Zion National Park a couple of times. Both were very nice vacations. I like it so much here that it's hard to leave.
