Senior Couple Sailing10 Tips for Picking the Right          Retirement Spot
                 By Emily Brandon, USNews.com  Jan. 25, 2010
 
  Most people retire in the same town where they spent their final working years. But some seek out a new locale with ski slopes or perhaps ocean views. Of course, budget is a big concern.
