A nice area. I haven't been there in many years.

I have never been there before, but I agree, it is a nice place
What part of Virginia is she looking towards? Until she changes your mind, of course...
(FYI, regular issue tags in VA start with 3 letters, then have 4 numbers. No real rhyme or reason to when they issue which; they send shipments of tags to DMV offices.)
Uh, yeah... about that humidity.
We ain't even had a humid day yet this year.
You'll love temps approaching 100 degrees with matching humidity.

Williamsburg area at the moment....but that next bit

Will likely change her mind
Virginia's a big state; it can be very different in different parts, but by and large, the coastal region is going to be humid. Southwestern VA isn't as bad, generally.

Retirement is a ways off, not a long ways, but a ways. We have made no decisions yet. She liked Virginia and mentioned retiring there a few times.
And as for the License plate. I saw it in a parking lot of a restaurant I was in. I was surprised to see XUE on a Virginia plate
Xue, let me suggest the southwest. The reason being is the dry heat. I was suffering from arthritis before we moved here almost eight years ago. Since moving to Vegas I haven't had one day of arthritis pain. You can't beat this!

It looks like next year about this time I will be in Vegas.
Very cool! Let's meet up and have a beer!
I like SW Virginia. I've worked out that way quite a bit for a client. There's a small town there called Floyd where I spent a lot of time.
I've been to that dry heat. I was in Phoenix, Arizona in July and August a couple of years ago (yeah, good planning on my part). I would get up and run while it was still pitch dark, and it was only 87F.Xue, let me suggest the southwest. The reason being is the dry heat.

My wife was born and grew up in Thailand. She came here ten years ago. We were planning on retirement there. But as I learn that the health care is not the best I am rethinking that idea.

That's cool. I've been in Phoenix when it was in the 90s by 7am. Crazy.
Las Vegas, Arizona, Florida, Hawaii are some great places to retire!
Personally, I am partial to Hawaii but I do not think I can get the missus away from Vegas. To many things to do here, way to many great restaurants, water sports, hiking, skiing, really anything you can want.
My one requirement in retirement is warmth and blue skies.

I will tell you this Buka has the right idea on being on Maui!

It has a lot of pluses, but just as many minuses. You need a bootload of money to live here, or you have to work like crazy. Which is why I'm still working at my age, and will for another ten years should I live that long.
The weather is great, the people are great, the medical field is deplorable. (doctors get paid less than anywhere in the country, so good ones tend not to come here.)
There's a whole lot of people who do martial arts, but you might never find them. Television is strange. No, seriously, really strange. There's all sorts of tropical diseases - which takes us back to the medical field.
If you are ever in a hurry about anything, you're screwed. People have died of natural causes waiting in line at registers. (no, really)
As for the people who move here - it is the land of the misfit toys, so I kind of fit in.
Been coming here since 78, lived here several times, this one being the last.
But I really have no complaints, it's Planet Maui.
