I moved to Arizona because it was the closest way out of California ;-)
Well, I’ve lived in SF, LA and SD, and the climate in SD was the best. I’ve also lived in Mesa, Tucson and Gila Bend. I like the climate in GB best, but the water is very salty and ALWAYS hot!! (Comes out of the pipes in the summer at 104+ degrees, so there is no such thing as a cold shower!)
Vegas is the closet I can get to GB without putting up with the scorpions and other ugly things. On the plus side, by the time one hangs out the last item in the laundry basket, the first one is dry!
