We've even considered it. Can't speak to the younger set but the older I get the less I want to deal with extreme heat or cold/snow!<br />Funny you should bring up that you're selling your place in SD (San Diego). Right this very minute, we are considering a move TOO SD! Maybe we should keep in touch, eh? lol<br />One last thought on snow birding...health-wise anyway, if you live where you can walk and go outside more, that should make it easier to stay healthy! Which brings another thought, if I do go to SD, I am so looking forward to a decent farmer's market again. lol <br />Good luck to you and Lobster.

(And some of our friends migrate as well). I think the trick is having so much fun during winter exploring new places that we don't spend too much time worrying about it. Plus it makes spring reunions all the more fun.crabbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-39113682596344358952017-02-23T11:45:51.272-05:002017-02-23T11:45:51.272-05:00My sympathies Jody, Southern California is a tough...My sympathies Jody, Southern California is a tough place to buy!

But that's mostly because winter is my favorite. Anything over 75 and I'm a grumpy, where's the AC, is it fall yet gal. I've heard many say people become less tolerant of cold weather as they age, but I seem to be the opposite. The older I get, the more I hate hot weather. I tend to exercise HARDER in the winter (more strength training, more HIIT runs on the treadmill) and do more play in the summer (long leisurely hikes or bike rides with the kids). That said...I travel a lot for work (mostly to National Parks, woe is me) so my wanderlust is often over satiated and I want to stay home and enjoy our slice of heaven. We still camp quite often and take at least one family trip each year (NYC and Chicago in 2016, South Africa and maybe Mexico in 2017, Columbia in 2018, etc etc). So perhaps I am a "snowbird"...just one that does it in short week long spurts rather than long 3-6 month treks?bdaisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993906312026049336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-80757901628478338012017-02-22T09:41:16.938-05:002017-02-22T09:41:16.938-05:00As the "rest of my life" gets ever short...As the "rest of my life" gets ever shorter, I am more unwilling to waste time on things I don't enjoy.

In one case the "shit" is self-imposed limitations or raised eyebrows, in the other, it's anything that seems scary or unappealing or too much work. And actually, some people can be quite happy in an ever-shrinking world, but I've seen enough grumpy seniors trapped in small scared lives to want to avoid that. I think so many things naturally decline as we age that if we don't open up to new experiences, change becomes synonymous with loss. But again, plenty of ways to open up with out packing up!crabbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-63904628359456276502017-02-21T18:50:43.105-05:002017-02-21T18:50:43.105-05:00I have enjoyed travel, but I always hated leaving ...I have enjoyed travel, but I always hated leaving winter for a couple of weeks in warmer weather (i.e., going to spend Christmas with my grandmother) and then coming back to the cold. Skipping the entire season might work, but I think I'd be too worried about what was happening in the "other" place. <br />The two directions of change in growing older are both expressions of "I'm too old to put up with this shit" but in one case change is stimulating and in the other it's exhausting. I tend to feel both ways, depending on the case at hand. (I've always wondered about that "Baby Boomers are getting more conservative as they age" thing. Those of my generation that I've known since we were young started out radical and got more so.)<br /><br />Mary Anne in Kentuckysolarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606487180967915130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-69587547195878239722017-02-21T18:29:09.682-05:002017-02-21T18:29:09.682-05:00What a great plan Messymimi!
