I would definitely have moved to beach area(s)! Either FL, or Carolinas, where golfing is aplenty. But, after learning about the golf cart life, the abundant activities, etc. I made a brief visit here in 2016, then again in 2017(still working). Uncle/aunt are in Hadley, and I had a few friends, whose parents lived here. After the 2nd visit, we were hooked. Such nice friendly people. I also realized that living on/near the beach wasn't worth all the traffic and mess. We can always drive to the beach(es). Hence, I was offered an early retirement in 2018, sold, and moved here, and the rest is history.
