Default also Welcome

just curious - had you retired in Arizona and didn't like it or is this your first retirement? It was easy for us to choose Florida over Airzona because our kids are all living in Ohio, NC or Florida already. We just wouldn't see them much if we retired out West, not that we ever really looked.

I have a friend who just bought in Sun City West, but mostly because his brothers both have places out there - and none of them are FROGS also. Even though we will be snowbirds the first 1-5 years, maybe longer, the pattern seems to be snowbirds for a few years, then full-time, and I don't think I could take the extreme heat in AZ. Some people say they can't take the extreme humidity in FL in the summer, but really it's not that much worse than the midwest, it's just more constant for a longer period.

Kind of hijacking this thread, I guess, but curious minds want to know . . .
