The order I've chosen my states reflects that I love the heat and because of that, the south. I also cannot be too far from a coastline, just a phobic thing having grown up in Florida. Most of my family is in the southeast and I like them so I like to be close enough that visiting is not a hardship. Florida and Texas are my favorites for weather and terrain and I hope to move to Texas in the next couple of years. (Also, no state income tax.)
