FIRST - take a good look at all aspects of your life; housing, employemnt, family, funds. Once you take a realistic look at your "life" then you can make the decision. As they say "been there, done that" We moved to AZ from IL almost 20 years ago. We thought long and hard and had to make some really difficult decisions. But in the end all has turned out well. BUT the winters are great and in the summer we hang out by the pool. Good Luck in your decisions.
