I'm originally from Chicago and he is from Colorado Springs and those were among our choices. But you can't beat North Carolina in so many ways. It's laid back-not a rat race. People are great. Yes even some of the transplants. And it is downright beautiful. And in our case, it is cheaper here. The downside-the kids are still in Florida but eventually plan on moving out of there down the road to places yet to be decided. So............

This is the place to be. Although I really really want to vacation in Hawaii some day before I get too old to appreciate it and remember it.
enjoyed your post - where in NC did you finally settle into?
