Of course I love the idea of you living in the states, where you are closer to California! Oh, such juicy thoughts and explorations!

That's why I bought my cottage in Yorkshire. Handled the yearning for roots/nostalgia for the familiar, spending some time with family - without living there full-time (you can never go "home") Now I have the best of both worlds...

You might just be happy. We change and sometimes we find that the things we loved when we were kids are still the things we love, despite the lives we've led. Follow your heart (and your stomach, as Gillian said.) What if you could have those things every day? You might just be happy.

I kind of think that where ever you land this time is likely to be as long-lived as any of the other places i.e. as long as you like it or it serves you. Nothing lost in trying it. Lots of folk think FL is the best place on the planet. Miss seeing you...will start agitating my mind about meeting up with you somewhere.

Surely there are pockets containing niche neighbourhoods, like any place in the world, that house those whom you'd resonate with! Rebecca I'm sure you'd be happy wherever you could eat. Really. Find a place with great food and you'll find your home. :) LOL! (Said with the utmost respect. Dear readers Rebecca is a twig. She eats enough for an army and yet strangely she gains nothing.)
