My longest experience was in New England - Connecticut and Massachusetts.
I lived in Plantation Florida for a period after graduating college. I lived for a summer in Contre Coeur, Quebec Province, Canada. I've spent at least one week in every single contiguous state in this country, except Washington State, where we only drove through, stopping for lunch on the way to California.
If life had turned out differently for me I imagine I would've ended up out west, at the foothills of Zion or near the canyons of Utah/Wyoming. Lower elevations, since I like SEEING snow, but not fond of being stuck in it for months at a time. All that, to me, is what makes America great. It's breathtakingly beautiful and I can't imagine anything closer to heaven than waking up to the sight of Bryce Canyon at sunrise.
Even living a day's drive from there in a larger city with more/better health care options than the local medical center, knowing I could just hop in the car and get away for a weekend, would be enough.
But yeah New Mexico - maybe up closer to Santa Fe than ABQ.
