Need suggestions please. The time for our retirement is just around the corner. We raised our family in a small town that is a close cousin to Mayberry. One sheriff, no stop lights and all the crazy nick names for the locals. Looking for a little cooler area to retire to, but still want that small town atmosphere where if it dosn't get done today, well, there is always tomorrow. Also, is there anything you miss after leaving a small town?

Where should we escape to? We (couple, not going to have kids) vant to be alone. We telecommute, so all we need is somewhere very quiet and safe and stable with good home Internet access. Where are the best places? I know we will have to do some travelling and check them out, but if you can give us some ideas, places, links, strategies to start on, we're grateful. [more inside]
