Supposing you could retire too any one place,at whatever age you are now, where would you choose?

I dont know where Id go maybe the North Carolina Coast, nice beachs but with a small town feel and not too touristy, Ive always wanted to live on the beach and in a small enough town where i could ride a bike with a basket to buy things , I know it sounds crazy but seems cool, NC also has good surfing for the east coast and mountains less than an hour away, Moderate tempature and really friendly people. Also has girls with beautiful accents
Well thats my take on it but then again Hawaii has always looked nice as well and its one of the healthist places anywhere.....

I want to buy one of the small Greek Islands in the mediterranean...build a nice mansion on a beach....and have a boat that I can easily travel to and from the mainland for supplies when necessary....or maybe just a helicopter pad....thats what I call peace and solitude....except for having my much younger supermodel wife with me....

one day.....oh yes.....one day.......

I agree with Adam on the Greek Island! And I would like to bring my harem with me...
Seriously, I don't know. Somewhere sunny, with beaches, in a comfortable little house...But where I can meet people and party...

Somewhere warm, sunny, quiet, yet not too far from a city where I can go wild.

I really don't enjoy cold weather.

My dad lived there until he was 18. I think 18...anyways he's always telling stories and they've wooed me. And the sailing! I mean, you can sail here, on one of the many many lakes, or in Victoria too on the big blue wet thing, but thats part of PEI: sailing, seafood, potatoes, and sand...
