Alaska is cool, the only reason I would go is to see my family and then get the hell out of dodge. Lived there for 22 years, that's enough for anyone, even Hawaian Eskimo's like me!

amahlala: That just means twice the trouble to spread around! So...which one is nicer and which one is bad? Could it be true that one is one and the other is too? Take a hit baby!
Hahaha, Here is what really happened CS. Amahlala was baked at 850 degrees for one minute and I was baked at 5 degrees for four days.

amahlala: No we are not a contradiction, we are true Hawaiian/Eskimos....figure it out...not very hard....one parent was hawaiian, one parent was eskimo.....
I meant a cultural contradiction. I generally think of the word Eskimo as designating a culture rather than an ethnicity.
WinterAires: It is stupendous, wanna know what makes it that way? Air conditioner and the beautiful pool in the back yard!woooohoooooo, chunk dunking time.....OUCH Amahlala, stop pinching me...I didnt want to wake up from my dreams of chunky dunking!
You can chunky-dunk all you want and I will join in too, as long you make some Yucca Juice and the tunes are flowing...see Yuma is the place to be and retire to also!

Well, if we had the most awesome jobs that paid the most awesome pay it would be the best place to retire.

Actually the word Eskimo is a derogatory term. It means 'eater of raw meat' in the language of the people. They are in fact the Innu and Inuit. Two distinct people living across the Arctic regions of North America, Russia, Greenland and all the northern countries. The words Innu and Inuit come from the same word meaning 'human being'. They are an ethnic group of indigenous people who have their own culture.
Gowanheart: I love almost every place! An apartment in Athens or Paris; a cabin in Colorado; a white-washed villa on Santorini; snowed in over a winter; camping by a fire on a chilly night in the desert; might have to be mobile in retirement and just move around a lot--so much yet to savor....
I love the way you express your thoughts on this subject. Keeping your options open and enjoying wherever we are is so important.
It has to be a place with a totally different climate than where I live right now, it would have to be somewhere cooler and drier...maybe some mountain but with temperate climate, not the brutal winters of northern USA...
I'm thinking Australia Queensland is it? the temperate state?
and I know I won't be able to live without a major city close by and internet access, so, close to major town with lots of cultural offers and internet access and many channels on my cable...

But I like your idea better... moving around a bit...but when the time comes that I have to live in a retirement home/community and have to be taken care of...I know my kids are going to want me close...or maybe not.
If I win the Millionaire money I'll put it away and get the financing for a retirement home/community... so I'll be in a place exactly like I want it. And here in Panama.
