I hear some areas of the country are really cooking with high temps.
Loving the weather where I'm living right now
Woodland Park CO
In the mountains near Pikes Peak
Cool nights in the 50s and warm days in the low 80s
Life is good

Probably nice and hot and humid around Tampa today.

I'll probably start summering in the Mountains and winter in Tampa
Seems perfect

20 years ago, I might have even suggested rolling down over the Mexico border for winter. Some pretty cool areas down there. Things have changed though.

I spent 6 weeks staying with a buddy outside of Denver after graduating from college and travelling the country and really liked Colorado.

In fact I almost decided to relocate there, to Nederland, outside of Boulder.

Think artsy-fartsy old hippies in the hills, at least "back in the day:" no idea what it's like these days ...

The wife and I are hoping to move to Florida by the end of the year. As of now we have narrowed it down to Melbourne, Clearwater, and Cape Coral. Since you have lots of experience with the Tampa area, are there any areas of Clearwater or St. Pete that you would recommend or some that we should avoid?
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Why not move down to Key West? Both nice and hot.

We need to be closer to a major airport as we like to travel a lot.

Key West international has an extensive non-stop flight list.

Almost zero to the west coast and very few international. I have flown to Key West many times as I now refuse to fly into Miami and make that miserable drive.
