Where to retire (continued)?

If your kids are beyond being kids and are ready for high school, the perfect match is San Diego and Canyon Crest Academy

For a New Englander and Red Sox fan this sounds even more perfect when you look at a map because the high school is just off the Ted Williams Freeway.

I've never been to San Diego, and I spent one day 20 years ago in Jacksonville. But now I've got some ideas that could at least turn into plans for a vacation.

Another way to research the dual criteria of retirement nirvana and good schools is to identify with your spouse and family where you would like to move and then search the greatschools.org website to determine whether there are good schools in the community. The site allows you to search elementary, middle, and high schools in just about any community in the United States.
