Thanks for your suggestions, I honestly never considered Richmond, VA before but I think it's somewhere to defintily check out. I have only been through there on trips elsewhere a few times but from what I remember it was a beautiful drive.
Although I love the New England area to visit I believe it's just too cold there for the hubby in the winter months. As we have tried living in the WNY area for roughly 5 years before the hubby just couldn't take the winters anymore.
Areas we have considered in the past but none of which made us go, yeay thats the place lets go there have been: The Carolina's, Tulsa, Austin and the Portland area.
Thanks Again Everyone
oh...AZLiam, we are currently in the NW area of Tucson, Continental Ranch to be more specific.
