The snowbird crowd is ageing
Seems to me in Texas the snowbird crowd is ageing, most are over 70 and many over 80. Every year more are too sick or old to make the trip and many have passed on. There are very few younger snowbirds...

Our problem; we still had 3 of our parents alive at 90+ years old. The DW immediately informed me that it wasn't going to happen. My mother died in 2010 at 92, and her dad at 97.
Now after 6 years of missed trips her mother is still here in assisted living going on 99 years old. I am now 70 and still waiting.
Full-timing actually helped me spend more time with my parents and help them more. I lived halfway across the country before I went full-time and would only see them a couple of times a year. Now I have an RV pad at their place and go spend 2-3 months a year visiting and working on maintenance projects and such.
