Retirement

Yesterday, one of Paul's previous co-workers (Tyler) stopped in on his way to BC. I was envious, as I absolutely love BC. We got to talking about retirement. Tyler wants to retire at 35, he's 28 now, hmmm, good luck with that, lol.
Anyway, retirement, that's a long time away for us, but I have often thought I would like to retire in BC. I do have the place picked out that I would love to live, although, I don't think that is going to be in our budget. But, I can dream, right? These are the apartments that Dad used to manage. I loved visiting him there, the area and the view are spectacular, The Flamingo Apartments, yes, this would be my ideal spot to retire.


Both Paul and Tyler thought that the rain would get depressing. I don't know, I have been there several times, it was raining when I was there, and it didn't bother me. However, I have not been there for a period of longer than 3 weeks.
Would the rain be worse than the snow and cold? Would it get depressing? Now this is something to think about - even though I know we likely won't move there, if there is any possibility, I should think about this. How would you know unless you tried it?
Looking at some of these views, I can't imagine that some rain would change my mind. Dad lived there for several years, he never complained. I have a lot of relatives who live there (who moved from here) and I have heard them talk about the rain, but I have never heard them say that they wished they had never moved.
I am going to have to ask about this, now I am curious. I have a hard time believing that views like this everyday, even it is was raining would depress me.




Does anyone have any input? What do you think? Rain or snow?
