I think Arizona is an awesome place. Good points are it is beautiful there, the cost of living is inexpensive compared to many places, it isn't humid

, tons of sunny days.
Some bad things are it can be very very hot during the summer (although I prefer 115 w/ low humidity to 85 and 100% humidity), some areas are blah looking since it is the desert.
I want to move there in a few years. I recommend that you visit there during July and August. If you like it then you will love it during the winter. I fell in love with it last summer
