My advice has more to do with the health side of things: If you have health issues, make sure that there are facilities around that can deal with anything that comes up, or be prepared (and willing) to drive a long ways for your health care.

Unfortunately, the quality and level of care in the US (heck, probably everywhere on earth) is VERY geographical.
