Twiggy - It's funny you are the opposite of me. When I lived in MA I wanted to experience something else. I always knew from a young age I was in the wrong place and I wanted to live somewhere on purpose - not just because I started there. I researched south Florida for two years, even subscribing to local newspapers. I found out everthing I could about Florida - and then I moved to Phoenix. I did not do much research on it but one visit and I knew I was home. If you ever get to move I hope yours works out as well as mine has
(been here since 1995)
I know two people - natives to Phx - who have moved to cold climates and love it. I know three people from cold climates who moved to Phx - then back to cold and then back to Phx saying "what was I thinking". I guess whatever you did not grow up with sometimes seems more interesting.
Me - I am excited to get back to 100 degrees after our cool down.
You - probably think I am crazy.
