[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not retired, but a mid-30s widow. I took a leap and moved to one of the Georgia sea islands after my husband died. I started out looking for a condo and ended up finding a perfect little bungalow a block from the water. I grew up in the north and I can tell you that I regret nothing about being warm year round, living on island time, the wonderful people. [b]I’d take a drive down the coast and find a city or island you like, then consider the real estate options.[/b] Some areas trend toward certain options. [/quote]

I'm sorry for your loss, PP, but this is excellent advice.  DH and I are about 10yrs from retirement and want to start planning vacations and long weekends around areas where we might considering retiring.  We don't want to stay in the DC area but haven't nailed down where we see the next phase of life, but right now expect it to be somewhere in the SE so it's time to start exploring and see what feels like it could be home.  Of course, if the kids end up on the west coast, we'd reconsider and move in that direction, but based on just the two of us someplace warmer and closer to the coast is our preference.
