One retired friend is a "snowbird". He lives in the northwest in the warmer months and travels to southern AZ in the bird seasons and stays the winter. Looks like a great way to enjoy our northern U.S. and not be snow-bound for 4-5 months nor fry like a lizard in the summers.

Southern AZ fills with snowbirds every fall. Snowbird towns sprout up in the same places. There are places where many thousands come in their motorhomes and trailers. It's quite a sight. These folks carry on relationships with other snowbirds year after year. Kind of a part year retirement community.

As KY Jon said, don't delay. Procrastination is your enemy.
