I'm retired already and reside in the SF Bay Area. If I chose to relocate, it would be to the North San Diego County Area. Climate, coastline, overall modest pace of life. Del Mar, Carlsbad, La Jolla. Quality of life.
It depends on how much money you have ! For a nice value the Carolinas sure offer value. Hawaii would be nice for a bigger budget. Taos is nice, maybe Flagstaff
For foreign maybe Vancouver. I won't get into super expensive, Hawaii is high enough.

A San Diego suburb called Coronado! The view of the Pacific Ocean from there is breathtaking!

Coronado is awesome. Don't get much better than there. I do like the northern SD county-southern Orange County too. Like around the Oceanside and La Jolla areas.
Fisher Island in the Miami area, very exclusive. You can only get onto the island via boat and if you aren't there to see someone specific they turn you away and send you back. There is practically one cop for every resident, and the biggest crime that happens there is a lost cell phone. There is some Saudi royalty there and Don Shula among others. These people didn't wait for government money, they pooled their money and built their own school for their kids.
If I were living out west I would pick La Jolla. If money is really no object, Lycos Cay in the Bahamas. There are homes there that would make Bill Gates envious.

Looks like someone was cheating and had the answers from the verry begining. I have travelled all over the world and there was nothing like the island of Santorini for me. I will paste 3 pictures. You have to realize that it was once a very active volcano. The first picture gives you a good overall idea of that. Unreal!
simply georgeous, it brings back a few memories from the greek isles, i actually got the shivers, you guys have to visit the greek isles nothing like it in the world
lets post more pics on our favorite places it will make it more intresting, and about margarita island i heared it was awesome a friend from work lived there for a bit
OK, I hate to 'shamelessly shill', but I would be amiss not to show you an example of the secure luxury projects on the beach in Costa Rica.
On the pacific coast of CR you have a new International Marina, Challenging Eco Golf Course, Casinos, world class Sports Fishing and great restaurants.
Oldman Ted, love the LaJolla area. Stayed a month there last summer playing Golf and messing around. Wife has been bugging me for 9 months to move up there. Retired also. B.R.
