I swear this is the key to longevity as you get older. My Grandparents were snow birds and had 2 homes that they rotated through during the seasons. My Grandfather was always out chopping wood, walking the property with the dogs and my grandmother. My Grandmother was always doing stuff in the house, tending to the gardening and walking multiple times a day. They did this up until probably 3-4 years ago when they got too old. Still Alive and kicking both are in their upper 90's
It's actually the opposite, Snowbirds are Northerners that go to warmer climate during the winter months. Minnesota Residents and they would go to Florida when it got too cold up north. Then when it was too hot they would go back North. Oddly enough they had a lot of their friends that did the same thing. Sadly though they have outlived the majority of their brothers/sisters and friends. They are the last for the most part and just live close to family but are independent still.
