We had thought for our first full snow birding season allowing approximately a month to month and half in each of the following states Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada. Does that seem realistic? We are just not the type (YET!) to go and sit in a destination RV park for weather alone for 3 or 4 months doing set planned activities.
I'm leery of the 'destination' parks that are out of town, away from groceries and stuff, for that reason, too.
But snowbirding at a park in town is not like that. It's like a combination of living there and being on vacation.
All the daily-life stuff takes longer when you are new to an area. If you need a haircut or new brake pads or a weird shaped bracket to fit something, it takes time and research to figure out where to get what you need.
Then you fit in sightseeing when you can :).
Me, I have a long mental list of places I have always wanted to see, and ones I have wanted to get back to, so I just group them in chunks by proximity. One state per season, maybe two, on the way south and north, and a few months in one spot in the winter and summer, for the haircut and brakepads type stuff.
