<p>I haven’t read all posts on this thread but I’ve read many. Has Boulder, CO been discussed? I’m guessing it’s fairly expensive? Does anyone know about the North and South Carolina “smaller” beaches? We visited Wrightsville Beach last year, and the location, on the water, but with Wilmington, a college town, nearby seemed pretty nice. I’m with the crowd that says good medical care is important to have nearby, and I want to be within about an hour of an airport, for ease of visitors and visiting.</p>
