We thought about Florida and other southern states but we really do hate humidity. Honestly, we have never been to most except Florida and Virginia. We briefly thought about PA and Delaware, both which we have been to just a few times.
We did seriously consider out West with the drier heat, though being in Utah last Sept we realized how hot that dry heat really feels. We would probably always be inside in air conditioning or in water.
In the end we felt we had a "connection" to NH (and Vermont) and both states felt more like "home" to us since we have been vacationing in them for 20+ years. We could not really see oursleves just throwing a dart on the map and moving our lives to a place we maybe liked one time when we visited or that we read was a good place to retire, though for sure we gave it serious consideration and if we couldn't make NH work, we would have had a serious decision to make in choosing another location because we vowed this to be our final move before-m well- you know- the nursing home or cemetery or whatever..
BTW- We have been having fantastic spring weather here in NH. 50's, 60's, 70's. Been awfully dry, though- no rain, which is weird. Even when it is windy I just love it!Makes me feel alive! I think I must have lived in a northern climate in my past life! LOL!
