Plymouth is about mid-way between where our grandchildren are and a house we have in North Truro on Cape Cod. Also, the community in Plymouth is an "active 55" community and offers an abundance of activities including a recreational biking group, tennis, bocci, kayaking etc, etc.
While Plymouth may not be small be West Va. standards it seems rural to a kid who grew up and lived in and around Boston all his life.
Finally, we are planning several trips in the U.S. in retirement, some of which will incorporate our love of biking. Just a few include Washington D.C. area, the battlegrounds around Gettysburg, a summer sojourn to Nova Scotia, and a trip to Arizona (Lake Havasu area). I also plan to continue to bike on Cape Cod as weather permits.
I am retiring at age 60 and am blessed with decent health so I look forward to may years and miles ahead........
