I don't know a lot about Australia, but it does have a strong British heritage.
Wouldn't Australia would be closer to England in culture than the U.S.A.?
They have their own "pub culture" which is a variation on England's own.
I really like tea, and would be happy if England's old "tea time" culture was there too. A lot of neat sandwiches and deserts are made for English tea time. If you meant living somewhere it's nothing like America, I can see what you're saying... However that might be hard to find an English speaking country to fit that bill.
** There are a lot of British ex-pats in southern Spain and Gibraltor (sp?). Very sunny climate and winters are in the 60's and 70's F while summers are in the 90's to 110's F (very dry heat). I've seen pictures and the landscape looks like a cross between Florida and Las Vegas (semi-desert and hilly-mountainous)
I meant in terms of cost when I used the wordlifestyle sorry. Paying $4000 for round trip plus rent and other expenses juat seems to me that i would add up. Whew I am giving myself a headache thinking about this. I need a need plan

Which country do you currently live in?
If I had to guess, it sounds like you live in Europe.
I guess to me, it sounded like you wanted to move to the U.S.A. for September to March... and perhaps for 6 months so that you had no issues with immigration. There are a lot of older/wealthy Canadians doing this, but usually from late fall to early spring.
In my province, I can't be away more than 150 days a year without forfeiting my provincial health coverage. My favorite time of year has always been mid April until mid September, so I'd rather only be here 150 days at the most, and out of the country 215+ days a year.
I'll add the Canary Islands (same longitude as Florida) with an average 70 degrees in winter. There's a few different islands all off the coast of Africa but belonging to Spain. Many English live there and take a vacation there so English is spoken in the main places. There's 4 main islands and some smaller ones in the canary islands. The North of each island is up to 5 degrees cooler in winter.
What about in terms of peak sunny days...places that are warm sometimes aren't neccessarily very sunny. Florida for instance is said to be somewhat bipolar in terms of sun. Rain, sun, party cloudy, a little lightning. This is all in the same day!!...Maybe it doesn't apply during the fall and winter months?
In any case lets shoot for moreso endless sunny days.
Why San Diego? I guess its ok if you dont like changing seasons. Put me somewhere like Vermont for the winter and fall. Eye-popping colors in fall, lots of snow in winter to enjoy outdoor activities, not many crowds, etc, etc.
