I do like Texas. No state income tax and my wonderful sisters live here. But we have no trees to speak of or coastline in Dallas/Ft. Worth, and I would love to live somewhere that had either.
I've considered Florida because I love scuba and it's warm. I love the water, and am getting into sailing. Maybe the Keys? I need to visit and check it out.
Everytime I vacation, I end up on an island it seems: Grand Cayman, Grand Bahama, Cozumel.
