I live just an hour south of Denver, in Colorado Springs and I would like to move to Denver, or at least closer to it. It's just closer to everything, mountains, snowboarding, 4x4, bigger city, etc. Last I was told, Colorado gets close to 300 days of sun per year.

About 300 days would have at least one hour of sunshine sometime during the day, but only about 115 days in Denver per year fit the classic definition of "clear". -- Answered by Nolan Doesken (9/03).

We average around 300 days of sun a year or more easily.

Im thinking about relocating from Denver to Seattle. Grew up here and kind of getting tired of it. I-70 on weekends sucks pretty bad. If you have an irregular work schedule though it is much nicer to get out. The weather is great, and the access to the mountains is pretty hard to beat. Lots of high mountain passes and old mining roads. A lifetime worth of exploring. Beers pretty good too.

I'm on Oahu right now, which essentially has 2 major highways that are always slampacked. It'll take me about 1-1.5 hours to get the 11 miles to Honolulu, it's very frustrating. That being said, I don't think any amount of traffic at wherever I move to is going to frustrate me quite as much as being on this tiny island with so many people...

That's definitely a factor that I'm looking for - is being close to the wilderness, so I can get out of the city.

Grew up North of Seattle, left at 19 since I could not stand the 9 months of gray weather. Lived in Santa Cruz and Pismo Beach, CA before I came to Colorado. I have no intention of leaving.

I travel a lot for work, and Florida is one of those places I detest visiting, but to each their own.

I don't like the heat/humidity, it is flat, has a season called hurricane and I hate the Gators, Hurricanes, and the Seminoles

I won't go back to California. There are some nice places to visit, but my inlaws have a house there, so that is easy.

Ewww California. I was stationed there for about 2 years, and while I didn't absolutely hate it, I'm confident that I won't go back!
