Wow, so my 6th winter in Wisconsin is nearly done, and I have 839 days left of residency.

I guess at some point I should start thinking of where I want to go.

The contenders:

Arizona -- Tucson v Phoenix
Tucson -- Wildcat country, neat city, Nico's Tacos, Eegee's
Phoenix -- Scottsdale is nice, Manuel's Mexican food
Pros for both: concealed carry, parents are there

Cons: Terribly allergic to the entire state which would require allergy shots
Phoenix -- Sun Devil Territory... my Arizona, Wildcat enthusiasm wouldn't be appreciated.

California -- Orange v San Diego
Like the suburbiness of Orange County, still have friends there, possible connections at St. Joe's, familiar with the area, still feels like home
San Diego -- great weather

Cons: The state is wasting all their money.

Hawai'i -- Maui
Perfect weather, 2nd home, friends, great food
Cons: island, expensive, liberal

Texas?
Maybe East TX? There's family there, Blue Bell ice cream. I've liked it every time I'm there.

Who knows where I'll end up as of right now.
