SO, in the long term, we're thinking of moving someplace where there is No Snow.
SO, in the short-term, we want to explore those no-snow places for two-week (or more) vacations November - March. We don't need to stay in a fancy hotel (or rental vacation zone) because we'd probably be living in a house in town, not on the beach.
We do want to be somewhere where I can swim and MyGuy can cycle/golf and we can wander around together and enjoy being outside. I like water, but can cope with inland lakes (see: current location), seashores, large rivers.
The other minimal critical specifications:
- Good air quality
- At least three hours of sunlight every day: no month-long monsoons
- Sidewalks or ubiquitous bike paths or traffic so low I can go in the street
- Public-access pool (it could be a private health club, but I can join).
[ETA to clarify what I need re: sunlight.]
