I don't think I'll be leaving Sacramento anytime soon.  But, if I were to pick up and leave, I'd probably head for Hawaii.  I adore the weather and relaxed atmosphere!

Lyn Sims Miami on the water has international buyers - all cash, for the most part.  Million dollar sales sound amazing but know the REALTOR code of ethics isn't as well known or practiced. The grass is always greener on the other side.

We really like New Mexico but everytime my wife and I go to visit my mom we have the maybe someday we should move back to Colorado talk driving home.

Dear Hank,

DC or Virginia, if there were not so much traffic to get there. Since I am too impatient to wait around on the road, I just refer to nice colleagues. Enough traffic around here to last me for the moment.
