1. Albuquerque, New Mexico

This beautiful city that boasts a population of 511,000 folks
enjoying this wonderful climate, endless landscape of the Sandia
Mountains and Rio Grande River. A great mixture of American Indian,
Hispanic and Anglo cultures. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta which is held in the fall fills the clear blue sky with 800 balloons.


2. Auburn, Alabama

This town that has a population of about 50,000 people enjoying
southern charm and home to Auburn University, which is the
largest employer and adding to the local economy. Mild winters and hot summers. Quiet little secret with lots of outside activities.

3. Austin, Texas

This wonderful city that is free spirited, musicians and has
nearly 200 performance venues and also host the South
by Southwest Festival, which is a grand happening of music
filmmaking and performances from all over. The city has
about 716,000 inhabitants and an hour south is San
Antonio, home of the Alamo and famous riverwalk. Or
a drive north to the infamous Hill Country. Austin is
home to Dell Corporation.

4. Boise, Idaho

This is a hidden secret, a great destination to get away and
escape to a desert climate of clear skies and sunshine and
also sharing in the four seasons for a change in life. About
200,000 residents enjoy the year round panorama.
Hewlett-Packard and Micron Technology employ the locals.

5. Durham, North Carolina

Mountains, a city of 205,000 residents has a very expansive
healthcare industry. Home to Duke University, mild climate
allows for many outdoor activities.

and miles of trails to enjoy this gorgeous scenery.

beaches and vineyards nearby. I am sure there could be a
good real estate deal to be made here, very tempting !!

What a wonderful historic charming city with only about 13,000
folks enjoying this area with its lovely breeze from the Atlantic
Many things to do outdoors especially the beautiful TPC Sawgrass
