I think, after reading these posts and many of yours Senior, that you should give some consideration to snowbirding: Part time in Maine and part time here.
We vacationed for many years in Florida but NEVER thought of it as a place to live until we visited here and immediately fell in love. Sometimes I get annoyed at some of the shenanigans I see during the high season but I do love living among my age peers, give twenty or thirty years...
I love the way all things are so well maintained and well run. I love the opportunities to join a myriad of groups of like minded folks. I have so loved learning so much in the field of art and playing golf for pennies.
If you are considering Florida...this is the place. Maine sounds close to your children and similar to the way of life you are used to and very beautiful too.
