ALABAMA rocks!!! It IS humid!!! But it keeps your skin looking young. :laughing: Like living in a sauna. Plus we have two of the best football teams in the NCAA!!!! Not too far from Gatlinburg if you like the Mountains, or the Alabama, SW Fla Gulf Coast which are beautiful!

Coming from Scotland you want Washington or Oregon. Florida's humidity will kill you.

Like I said, if you don't like the heat (and I don't either) the American south is out of the question. Even the northeast is during the summer months. The west coast is the only place where you will feel at home, seriously. I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area half my life which is never humid and my skin is great LOL.

i have a female friend who wants me to move stateside to florida,heard its too hot with flying bugs the size of copters. now i'm happy here and dont wanna move but if i did where would u recomend, only stipulations are i don't do cities and it needs to be safe. what d'ya think? :thumbsup:


One city pops in my mind.

Yaktusk. minus 58 degrees. I can guarantee no bugs whatsoever. It's safe too, everything rock solid.

Normal people like us don't live in the city. We live in places near it which are more affordable.

Hmm < just looked out the window , no copter size bugs . Hurricaines on the other hand are something you need to cinsider , nothing like living in a place that for half the year you have to worry bout loosing everything


Ha! My brother lived in Pensacola before. Fire ants!

He left a bag of dog found in the trunk of his car and the next morning his car was full of those ants.

I've stepped on a fire ant hill in Florida. I had flip flops on. They hurt big time. I invented a new dance when they attacked me.laugh

Don't think of the whole Bay Area as San Franciso. SF is a city and county all by itself. Oakland and Berkeley are in Alameda County. San Jose is in Santa Clara County. Each area, while still very nor cal, are distinct within the Bay Area. The East Bay is more affordable than "the city". Almost every place is.

The only places to avoid in California are 1. the deserts. Hotter than hell in summer and drier than an oven. 2. the Central Valley. It's flat, looks like the Midwest actually and also really hot in summer.

I would say coastal Northern California would perhaps best suit you. It does for me. Just google Marin and Sonoma counties and take a look for yourself. You can also try Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. make sure you google images as well.


i need scotland without the rain!


Closest you are gonna get to that is Oregon or Washington state...but, still with rain and bad @ssed winters.

Do what my Dad did...hopped on his motorcycle...did two laps around the country and settled where the people were the friendliest...Abilene Texas.

You get used to 100+ temps
