Now you've inspired me.  I hadn't thought of doing somewhat 
separate things.  My wife and I are both in a community choir and 
are only allowed to miss 1 or 2 of the weekly practices.  That 
really limits the length of trips we can take, except in the 
summer (when the choir takes a break).  I've been thinking of 
dropping out of the choir, and the opportunity to spend a month or 
more in the southwest (AZ or NM) during the Jan-Mar timeframe just 
adds more incentive.  I'll have to think about the best way to 
float this.  Maybe see if she has interest in skipping the winter 
concert to do this with me, and if not the flying in and out 
option could be the fallback.

Novice question for snowbirding it: what kind of options should I 
be looking at for an extended stay, weekly (or monthly) RV park 
rental, or are there other approaches?
