This is harder than we thought (Are we ever going to find a place?!)

Well… we’re expanding our search.  We’re getting discouraged by what we’re seeing in Las Vegas.  And, Tom mentioned that the weather will be warmer in Florida than in Las Vegas.  We asked that paragon of information, Siri, to compare the temps for the locations, and… Florida is 15 degrees warmer than Las Vegas in January and February.  So, we’ve started looking for places in Florida, in addition to looking in Las Vegas.

We decided to look on the Gulf side rather than on the Atlantic side -- mid-state to south.  We're discovering that Florida is not only warmer than Las Vegas, but also more expensive.  The places we found that were within our agreed-upon budget) were really sketchy.

I mentioned this to my pal, Nancy, who moved to Phoenix last January.  She started lobbying us to explore Phoenix – warmer than Las Vegas – less expensive than Florida.  

Hopefully, one of these locations will be “just right” for us!
