Dear Ms. Caribbean.

I have been to all but 6 states in the U.S. and those are Northern states where it is brrr cold in the winters so these would be out of the picture.

Hmmm. Lizards..I have seen these little creatures everywhere. They stay outside and I rarely see them indoors. They won't hurt you. I have picked one up when I saw it in the way of a lawnmower.

I like Texas, Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky and parts of Tennessee, i.e. Nashville, Knoxville if I were making a change with your criteria. Parts of Texas can get brutally hot but the amenities surpass the heat. (Not northern Texas as they can get some brutal snowstorms) San Antonio, I would actively explore. (Not Austin, too expensive) I love Louisville,Lexington, Paducka (sp) area, Kentucky. More all round weather and not too much of this and that.

The places I have mentioned all have major airports and great medical centers. (Atlanta's airport though can be a nightmare)

Now get busy and open up your Atlas.

Kentucky is beautiful too! A friend of our's lives south of Louisville and the area is beautiful.

You REALLY don't want to come to Iowa I can tell ya that. Although, our winters are getting woosier (whus?) they're still long and cold. Summers, hot and humid.

'Having a hard time imagining what place does not have lizards.

I am guessing that anywhere in the US south and west has lizards.
I'm guessing it is partly due to to a temperature correlation.
The colder you can stand it, the farther you will be from a lizards.

Tell me where I can go so I will never see another mouse. I saw one eye ball level from my car tonight. It was moving around in bushes that were on a stand as a was pulling into my apt complex. Yuck.

Piruka,
I for one am biased. Kentucky is a beautiful state. Lush green hills, mountains, farmland, horses!, beautiful trees (did I mention horses?)...
and lakes and rivers.

Lived here all my life. (40 years) I highly recommend it! Dodi
