Where to go?
We find ourselves in the position to be able to spend the winter months some place warmer. We have been looking at Texas, Florida, etc. Kids are in NC and Arizona but don't really want to be in either...

One should keep in mind: "Frosty nights in Florida..." generally refer to areas north of Lake Okeechobee. They are a rarity between Fort Myers and Naples. We had maybe two or three in the last two years -- none this season! And, our strongest wind (one day about a month ago) was hardly more than what RV'ers experience every day in parts of the RGV.
Nor, have we negatively experienced "...the crowds and line ups, higher prices, disgruntled neighbours..." that her&I (above) experienced. Our last crowd and line-up at Mel's Diner proved to be a delightful time with great conversation among a group of snowbirds who were not strangers after the first five minutes; the prices are NOT higher unless you make that choice of eating establishments, and, finally, her&I sound like they fit right in the "disgruntled" category. Lighten up and you might brighten up everything and everyone around you!
