If you could move to a different state in the continental United States where would you go?

Somewhere with a good water supply. The west is FUCKED in that regard.

I’ll break your question and say San Miguel de Allende.

That might even be a real possibility for The Bandit and me for quasi-retirement.

Would you get a cool nickname like el guapo, el caballo, Izquierdo saco de nueces or something like that?

This discussion always leads back to Montana when my wife and I have it. Occasionally I think someplace warmer but I’d guess when my youngest is off to collegr we will at the very least spend a portion of the year out there.

For warmer areas I kind of agree with Doc on the Savanah (I like Charleston as well) area. Or Portugal.

I'd love to go back to New York. Outside of that, somewhere in the southwest seems ideal. Arizona or Nevada.

If you are retired, the key seems to be to leave for the "bad months".

This guy gets it.

Seeing I have already made the move to lovely Central Ohio, if I ask myself the same question at this point, for many reasons I would still probably stay where I'm at. Some pockets of ridiculous levels of state redness aside, there is a lot of balance here: better balance of four seasons, better taxes overall, MUCH better traffic, proximity to cool places to visit, no worries about water, less risk of potential catastrophic natural events (earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, etc...).

a man with wisdom and taste

It will be interesting to see what life is like here as friends retire and move away. There are plenty of adults still in my neighborhood who I have known since I was a kid.

I have a long time to go here. The very earliest retirement possibility is still a decade away but I can see putting in 20 more years.

As always, I doubt I'll move to another state. Why would I move when I would want to travel all the time anyway? I've seen a lot but there is a big part of the world I've never sampled. I want to have hit every continent. Once the boys are gone, I wouldn't mind following that horrible human Tim Tebow's lead and start spending time volunteering in other countries.

Florida, Georgia or Texas.

A year and a half ago, I moved my Sister (her family) and my Mother (who had moved from here to live with her after retirement), in Portland, ME to Orlando. Long story behind it, but anyway, it was over Halloween and we were getting snow here and 20* - 30* temps. I was in their pool in 85* beauty that final Saturday morning before I left. Saturday evening I was back at O'Hare and so rudely greeted by 26* and frozen crap on the ground. The first thought I had was "WHY?" "Why do I put up with this shit?"

Because Orlando in June, July, and August is also miserable. It's just a different type of miserable.

I lived and worked in northern Italy for five years and bought half of my friend's parent's flat in Feltre. Not much to look at from the outside, but in typical Euro fashion, the inside has a kitchen with dark wood and marble floors throughout. I need an ocean separating me from this insane and cruel society. I can always go to Verona or Venice and have a laugh at the American families screaming at each other on their vacations.

MAESTRO: Oh yeah, I've been at my house in Tuscany.

KRAMER: Oh Tuscany huh? Hear that Jerry? That's in Italy.

JERRY: I hear it's ah beautiful there.

MAESTRO: Well if you're thinking of getting a place there don't bother. There's really nothing available.

JERRY: What about his house in Tuscany, he mention that?

ELAINE: Yeah. (bragging) I'm invited.

JERRY: You know when I told him it was beautiful there, out of the clear blue sky he says there's nothing to rent. As if he doesn't want anyone else there.

ELAINE: Why?

JERRY: I don't know. Maybe he's embarrassed by Americans.

ELAINE: Yeah, well maybe there aren't any houses to rent there.

JERRY: In all of Tuscany? I wonder.

But I love heat, so I don't find it miserable. And I like it a hell of a lot more than having to deal with snow, slop and having my plow on my truck for a month+ and having to push crud somewhere.

Portland, ME, is a great town for eating, drinking, and proximity to natural beauty. I love it. The only problem with it is all the affluent New Yorkers and Bostonians who are descending on the area.

Yea, travelling up 95 Thursday/Friday or back down to the Maine/NH border with the backup from the toll booth on Sunday... Fun times... Usually when I would go out there, I'd fly in Bahhhston, then drive up.
