Thanks, JMB!
One of hubby's pals from high school lives in Myrtle Beach. I visited Asheville around New Year's and man, it seems like paradise...it truly lives up to its billing as a "mini-San Francisco"...arts-friendly, gay-friendly, and one of the top 10 places for an extremely active retirement (hiking, biking, etc.)
