Hey, my son wasn't even out of junior high, and he was talking about retiring in Greece when we spent a couple of weeks there a few years back.

(Me, I'm hoping for a real estate bust in the SF Bay area. I love wine country, fog, the connections with film noir, and all the great Asian restaraunts. Besides the leftists there will be a perpetual source of amusement.)

Either way, mediterranean climate is the way to go in old age.

I'm hoping for a really HUGE real estate bust in the Monterrey area. I'd like to purchase the Hearst Castle dirt cheap.

Exactly why we are looking into real estate in Georgia right now, having been there in May and fallen madly in love with the country.

Ahh to have a place on the islands. I know some excellent ones that I could be enjoy a long stay on. Greece used to be a cheap place to live but prices are going up since they joined the EU.

As for food, a big fresh Greek salad, a cold (Greek) Amstel beer or maybe a icy bottle of Avra water, a big chuck of Greek bread and plenty of olive oil. I could dine on it 365 days a year.

But God forbid you need serious medical care...especially in the islands. It's getting better , but it has a way to go.

Well, gotta go. Must pick some fresh tomatoes from my garden, cut a slab of Dodonis feta and pour some Minerva olive oil. Some things can't wait!

Couldn't agree more. As I get older, I want good weather, and I want it year round. That's why I stay in California.

I am in Southern Cal, not to far from the coast. Every time we think about moving, we go and visit, on the way back, each time we are shaking our heads, no way!
