Here in Canada, they call these people "snowbirds" because they fly south for the winter (usually Florida, Texas, California, Mexico or the Caribbean. (Many years ago, a Canadian singer named Anne Murray had a hit song called "snowbird" (about a bird, not the vacationer.) Canadians can spend 5 months outside of Canada before they lose their healthcare benefits. Both my parents & in-laws did this until they started to get frail (my late father-in-law died in Texas on one of these trips as a result of terrible care in the US medical system following a broken hip but that's another story.)
Personally I'm not one for beaches, I'm very fair and burn too easy.
I prefer to go to cities with a lot of history, interesting museums & art galleries or places with beautiful natural scenery. A few that I love are: Italy (been there 3x), Scotland (haven't seen England yet), the Alps, Canadian Shield back country, Nova Scotia (especially Cape Breton). There's so many places I'd love to see both in Europe and North America (Prague, Budapest, some of the cities in southern Spain, the Louvre in Paris, British Museum in London, Metropolitan museum in New York, British Columbia coastline and the Canadian rockies (have seen the US ones.) Unfortunately money is an issue for us but hopefully we'll see more places some day. I'd also like to see some of Asia too.
