The week after Halloween is my least favorite Oregon week--Fall is offically over and RAIN has begun. We will next see the sun in April. If we are VERY lucky, we might get a glimpse in March. Otherwise, Rain, rain, and more rain. The rain is balanced by five months of amazing weather each late spring/summer/early fall.
But . . .THE RAIN. A week in and I am already SAD again. So, I've been amusing myself with realtor.com, city-data.com, and other searches. Where would I live if not here? It's a very freeing question.
My ideal city: Artsy, politically moderate or left-leaning, easy-to-get involved (lots of organizations, boards, clubs, easy to join up), near scenic areas, moderate cost of living, and the least number of over-cast days possible. Snow I can deal. Clouds not so much.
Where would you live if you could move? What would your ideal city look like? Why? What non-rainy/non-cloudy cities do you recommend for my virtual vacations? Speak up before I float away!
Florida. I already have a condo there and if it weren't for our family I'd be living there right now. I LOVE THE SUNSHINE. I always say I have a touch of seasonal affectation disorder because I am just so much better in the nice weather. Go south woman!

For me, the rain and the dreary weather are my ideal so if I could move to any city, it would be Portland or Seattle or Scotland. Maybe even Canada someplace because I do love the snow, too.
As for your virtual vacation: Southern California sounds like it would be a good fit.

And yes, I do realize that Scotland and Canada aren't cities. I guess I could have worded that differently....

Somewhere warm and dry where there is not an excess of ac. Somewhere in Tuscany.
Yeah, that's it!
