I was thinking AZ or NV for the dry heat rather than the humid heat of FL.
So the main thing is finding work out there for me, my wife can pretty much work anywhere but I need somewhere there is some type of manufacturing or logistics industry.
So my questions to the members who live in the warmer states, what is it like? Any drawbacks? Is there any manfacturing outside the midwest?
Thanks in advance for your help?

House prices are OK though, but that's 'cause most of the houses are made out of paper and matchwood (see point 1 about A/C electricity costs).... I believe most of the manufacturing has moved to Mexico, China and some former eastern-block countries. Not sure how that would tie in the the southern warmer drift, but hey ho.
