Where would *you* recommend?
Just look at my TLD (actions speak louder than ASCII). But based on
the data points of SoCal, FL, and RSA, I bet you're more into warmth
and water than powder and plenty of vertical.

Interestingly enough, I'm involved with a study group that's working
to design a Personal Rapid Transit system. Recent developments in
GPS, wire guidance, and inductive-charging-in-motion make this
approach more approachable than in the past.
got an URL? I'm interested, but (despite all the silklist posting)
don't have any spare bandwidth. What skills do you all need? There
are some people in the ME dept. at the Uni here who are doing a lot of
work with inductive charging, and this application (large loops, enough
metal to prevent excess radiation) sounds like it might could be right
up their alley.
(the corollary to the powder and vert above is that we also have plenty
of hydro power. It seems that around 1939 or so, the locals, not
having any oil or coal, decided it'd be a good idea to quickly get some
renewable energy on line. As long as global warming doesn't melt the
glaciers back* too far, it should be good for a while)

thanks!
Anyone who has *tasted* genuine Florida
wine knows that nothing this side of a return to Prohibition would
cause the local product to sell to any but the most desperate.
OK, sunlight I'll grant. But neither "aspect", nor especially
"drainage", are words that come to mind when picturing Florida. Maybe
artificial hills, a la Ski Dubai? I'm getting a mental picture of
putting in some vines on the south face of EPCOT...

* Udhay mentioned the problem of communicating how a slowly rising
temperature is threatening. There's a series up on billboards that
have those two-way prism elements, so as you walk past, it changes from
a ca. 1900 to a ca. 2000 photo of the same glacier -- only with much
more valley exposed in the recent picture. Pretty graphic.
(especially graphic if one is aware that the glacier represents "water
in the bank" for activities of both the agricultural revolution and the
industrial)
