The happiest retired folks I have met in my life it seems all have a similar set up. Some place north during spring summer and fall and someplace south during early winter to early spring.
For me personaly it fits, I love so many parts of this country and feel at home no matter where I go. I love the people from the south though I have spent my whole adult life in the northeast.
I love the warmth of the winter and the fishing and boating season that goes on forever but there is nothing, I mean nothing as beautiful in my eye as the mountains and rolling hills of the north in the summer and fall especially.
Having two homes is the only way of obtaining the best of both unless you do like a lot of snowbirders and live in a Class A RV during the winter and that I don't know if I can do comfortably. Mostly because the places you stay in make you feel like you are in a giant parking lot with a pool. :-/
