I only spent a few minutes at most looking at the rental situation and map of Long Island. That was enjoyable and interesting for me because as I indicated I have been to Long Island before, at least on a couple occasions many years ago. I remember the waves at Jones Beach were prefect for enjoyable the ocean. I would go again but for the same price, or lower, I could go to many other places in the world that are better suited to me.

I moved to be near a relative that has dementia. I know about the disease in general from reading about it and experiencing it however I have found that in practice it differs so significantly in people and there seems to be major exceptions. In the case of my relative as soon as they went into assisted living they reversed some of the symptoms due, I believe, to getting the right medication and being in a caring and stimulating environment. They say it's a progressive disease but I have seen with my own eyes a definite reversal. Now it's very stable where before it was definitely progressing.

So you never know what your future will be like. At least you are in Arizona with beautiful scenery, dry air and clear skies. At least I am near my relative but this geographical location is not a good environment for me, hence the reason for my original question. Geography can in fact have a profound effect on your life.
