I think I may have to find one.

My parents live in Gulf Shores and I love the area. Sure the tourists can be annoying. But I love it there!
OMG back atcha, Silver! I'd love to meet you when you're here in April! I'm not a triathlete (never learned to love running), but I sometimes go as a spectator. And my cycling buddy often works the transition areas. I'd love to come and cheer you on. Go TE!

AintDoody, another TE-er, was here last year, and we were just able to squeeze in one casual afternoon ride together.

Definitely let's get in touch when it gets closer to the date. I'll PM you with my phone number.

Oh, and back on topic, MY choices of places to live include coastal Maine, coastal SC, and Portland, OR, for vastly different reasons. Where I'll end up--who knows? Looking to retire in maybe 5 years, then we'll see.
