E164 Retire in Mooresville, North Carolina
About this episode
As retirement neared, Paul and Cheryl Thornton moved from Delaware to Florida, believing it would be their “forever” home. While Florida is a great location for cruise enthusiasts like Paul, he hated it - the weather was unbearable and the drive to relatives in the northeast was too long. When it came time to retire, Paul sought somewhere with a temperate climate, a reasonable driving distance to the northeast, and near a city with professional football and basketball teams. After extensive research, Paul zeroed in on the Charlotte, North Carolina area. The couple purchased a home in Mooresville, North Carolina, a town located about 30 miles from Charlotte with more reasonable home prices than the city. Hear Paul profess his love for Mooresville and cruising on Episode 164 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.
Check out Paul’s award winning podcast: The Joy of Cruising.
Paul’s four books: The Joy of Cruising: Passionate Cruisers, Fascinating Stories; Cruising Interrupted; The Joy of Cruising Again; and White Man’s Disease A Memoir.
