Thanks for input everyone. It's amazing how hard it is to decide! DH and I even did a search on a small town we loved when we were in Slovenia, but don't think we are ready to leave our families that far away.

Our friends keep mentioning Asheville or Portland, I love Portland and have never been to Asheville. The whole surfing thing is throwing the formula off.

FindSpot seems to want us to move to Arkansas?

Thanks everyone!
