With your reviews, OC gents will line up to see you.  Good luck with your move

if you don't mind the expense of living in CA, OC is not a bad place to be. the weather is definitely better than AZ. lots of folks in OC, and LA and SD are nearby. given your track record, i have no doubt that you'll have plenty of interest here.

BTW, newport, irvine, costa mesa, and HB are all decent places to live.  good luck.

From another (former) Zonie

I lives in Arizona many years ago and I love it here.  The weather, the beaches, the attitude.  You'll be very happy.  And not so hot (well, you're hot no matter what).

BTW - I'll see you once you make it out!  Heck, just come visit and I'll sign up!

I saw you in Phx, awhile back, and of course, I was totally Blown-away!  As a matter of fact, I am planning on seeing you in Dec. When I'm in town.  
Yes, my Dear:  You were made for So. Cal!

I have a rental--condo property that will become available soon located in Dana Point.

Move to OC

Come to OC for some short trips - get to know the places, the people, and see if everything lines up for you. Put me at the top of your list for a visit while you are here. zz
