I actually spoke with someone sometime back who is in the peace corps over there and I gotten the feeling that the way I eat and the way they cook wouldn't match up. I could be wrong. Also, if I am not mistaken isn't it hurricane season during the fall and winter...or it rains heavy something in the weather isn't perfect during that time of year(meaning bewteen sept-march), if I am correct

no, hurricane season is between June-November and Nov- March is the dry season over there, summer is horrible over there because it rains like every day, and it's usually 90+ degrees with VERY high humidity.
No problem.
For other pleasant temps, New Zealand might be nice that time of year, I'd expect highs from mid 60's to mid 70's F or 18-24 C from Sep-Mar on the North Island, however they are known for "changeable weather," so their sunshine wouldn't be very consistant... On the other hand it is a very green (lush) country.
New Mexico's mildest winter climates still have average monthly winter highs of the low 60's and thanks to dry air and clear skies, average overnight lows in from the mid 20's to mid 30's F. In Celcius, the range in southern NM of 14-17 C day and -4 to 3 C in the morning. Frost is common everywhere in the state, and every winter every part of the state will get at least one hard frost below 20 F (-7 C). The mildest place in New Mexico is right beside El Paso, Texas.
*Also, New Mexico has a very strong Spanish influence. It's not a very prosperous state economically, so I figure it's demographics are more traditional, which is more Spanish descendants and Natives than other mixed non-Spanish groups.
U.S. Virgin Islands are very warm, say 83-90 F or 28-32 C every in mid winter; heavenly temps for myself but that might be higher than you were hoping for. But the sea is plenty warm enough for swimming at about 27-29 C or 80-83 F. It is also pretty expensive. Think Hawaiian prices with a Caribbean atmosphere.
*I did allude to the U.S.V.I. when I said U.S. "territories." They have islands all over the place like Guam, Palau, American Samoa and Puerto Rico (Very Spanish, obviously)
Excellent break down of new mexico.....I was looking at new zealand the same day I got replies about australia and although expensive in new zealand it is cheaper than australia. It really starting to boil down to 1. how great will the weather be outside the U.S. compared to living inside the U.S. at one of the aforementioned locations and 2. how much cheaper will it be to live outside the states.
I think it will cost like $2000 just to get to melbourne or sydney australia. Rent isn't cheap from what I have read. The lifestyle would be like living in the U.S. which would defeat the purpose. I have more research to do and will come to a conclusion hopefully soon

Your welcome.
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)

Ok thanks for the clarification. I got it now
