Congratulations on your move and on your bravery too! It's healthy to keep our levels of attachment "in-check" as they say. Good luck with selling the house. No more cold for you! I know how you feel.
I recently did a road trip from Wisconsin. Trinidad Colorado was a fun place for a good bucket list item to get checked off.
I highly recommend an Air BnB called Blue Dragon Inn located in Cimarron, New Mexico. It's a beautiful city and I hear the winters are mild. Snow melts quickly and the sun shines bright. Arizona is beautiful too.
Have fun!
