Hey Retirees (or soon to be) please help me out with some ideas.

Wife and I are two years away from retirement . Kids are out of the house (and off the payroll!) and plan is to ditch the family home and hang out Spring/Summer/Fall in our condo at Lake Tahoe. Gets pretty cold up there in the dead of Winter and neither of us are big skiers anymore nor do I really enjoy shoveling snow, scraping ice off the car, or putting on chains so looking for some ideas on where to escape to warm up for three of four months during Winter. Could be U.S. or Intl.

Wife (non-cyclist) enjoys the beach and of course must have good road or mountain cycling for me.

Have spent time in Mexico, Santa Barbara and San Diego and those are viable options for extended winter stays. Coworkers have suggested I check out southern Texas along the gulf.

Plan is to take a couple of longer vacations (month +/-) to check out warm winter getaways during the next two Winters before retirement. Starting to make plans for this Winter.

Have some other ideas for me?

Thanks.
