Everyone tells us that if we end up...It's true. Everyone tells us that if we end up leaving CA, we'd better not plan on coming back because there's just no way financially. Too expensive here.

AARP magazine ...So true about the good and the bad. AARP magazine listed the 5 best places to retire and my hometown was one of them! In spite of brutal winters and humid summers, we do have a relatively low cost of living, lots of culture, beautiful parks and excellent hospitals.<br /><br />I've toyed with the idea of moving to a sunny, dry climate, but I agree, turning in your letters could be worse and there would be no going back financially. <br /><br />Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282039481061418510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-83173268862638518722016-11-15T08:03:36.314-08:002016-11-15T08:03:36.314-08:00I can totally relate to what you said about Hilton...I can totally relate to what you said about Hilton Head! That is too funny. I know a lot of people here buy their wines at the supermarket, where there is not nearly the selection as....right outside their door! And yes, people don't think about their transportation plans much, but I'd say about half probably do have DDs or hire a van to take them around -- more than 10 years ago, I'm sure. It's mainly the old people who don't, and they're the worst drivers anyway, even if they're sober!HotFlashHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894953352910455222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-56957550442387030882016-11-14T16:13:46.541-08:002016-11-14T16:13:46.541-08:00Haha, yes, I think wine country has an unbeatable ...Haha, yes, I think wine country has an unbeatable draw because it offers not just beauty and warm weather, but lifestyle and confidence! It's easy to chat with strangers and make new friends when you're far from home and your judgy acquaintances. It's even easier when you're a little buzzed! When I looked into what living in Hilton Head would really be like, I was shocked to find the bad schools and that most residents but their seafood at the unimaginative, fluorescent lit grocery store called Publix. But the upside is you can go play tourist any time you want! The good thing for you is that since you are the woman of 1000 jobs, you can just pretend to be yourself from another point in time and feel the Barbara Walters soft focus version of it all again. Who comes to Paso Robles without a transportation plan?? I don't think I'd even rent a car if I came. Just walk from place to place in a stupor trying to try everything I can.
