I've heard that for those who don't care for the cold or the heat and humidity, that Albuquerque is the place to go. A friend of mine retired there and she not only loves it, she says it is also a wonderful jumping off place for some great road trips out west.

My husband is retired already and my retirement date is set for April 1st (unless they say April Fool and take it back.) He and I like road trips, but I also like to fly and hanker for the more exotic. Thus, we will probably stay put for a while as we are within easy reach of Newark Airport, a great jumping off point to the world. Also, as long as we live in NY, my husband's teacher's pension does not get taxed by the state.
