I couldn't do Florida because of all the bugs . . .

I went for a run the last time I was down there and came back looking like someone sprinkled pepper all over me there were so many bugs - and it wasn't even love bug season.

Alabama isn't as bad but it's still bad... And don't even get me started on birds...

Thanks everyone. I'm leaning towards California but Texas does sound interesting. Perhaps others of you in California and Texas can offer additional thoughts.

Springfield, Missouri is a good place. Not to hot , not to cold. Middle of the country to get to anywhere in your retirement travels.

San Antonio is a good city. Cheap to live in, a bit of history, and Austin is only an hour away. Temperature ranges from 30-100 year round. Traffic is nothing crazy.

I was born and raised in Texas, lived there for 21 years and there are two towns there that in my opinion can go up against anything any other state has to offer and those are Austin and San Antonio. LOVE those towns. But the Texas sun will put the royal smack down on you and your paint if you're not careful - make sure you've got shade to do your detailing.

The worst thing about living in California is the cost of living, but some parts of California are as beautiful as it gets.

In the Bay Area we're less than an hour away from the coast, 2 hours from Lake Tahoe, less than two hours from Monterey, 2 hours to Sonoma/Napa, 4 hours from Yosemite, so it's pretty great.

For driving I am going to say Sonoma County in northern California. The weather is good for driving. There are miles of back roads through beautiful vineyards to cruise or you can follow highway one along the rugged coastline.

California has some great places, but the cost of living can be pretty high near the best places. If you prefer the cool stay coastal, hot central or southern. Sacramento is a good middle ground, but I prefer Sonoma county area. Not very mod friendly state if modding is your thing.
