So the Mrs. and I are increasingly thinking about post-retirement living, and we want to be near the beach. We also like warm climates. Of course we need gun-friendly laws. We are going to spend some time in the next couple years vacationing around the South to see what areas we like best. Florida has long been on the short list as we have vacationed there a bunch. What say the rest of you about other states down that way? Texas is also a maybe, but we have not hit the coastal areas. We are not rich enough to buy a beach house, meaning the goal is to be close enough to walk/drive over for the day. Mind you I am 50 so looking for career two as well. I can likely find something to do wherever though.

Fill me in on destinations we should add to the list. Carolinas? Alabama?
