I live in Florida and for the past 25 years, lived a 10 minute walk from the Gulf of Mexico where I took daily walks on the beach. (recently moved further inland for non-health reasons). I have Bronchiectasis but no NTM’s at this point. I would encourage you to come to FL ( or some other pleasant climate location) for all the reasons Sue stated. Quality of life is so important. I will caution you to keep in mind that FL is full of visitors in the winter so restaurants, parks and beaches are fuller than the rest of the year. But nearly all our restaurants have outside seating and the weather is pleasant so it’s never been a problem for us to go to our favorite spots. Our sun and beaches won’t improve your MAC, but they will be good for your soul!! Good luck!
