Arizona, Texas or Florida =)

Do you have any time or people restrictions, like others keeping you from doing it when you want? If so, you could or couldn't take a more time to decide; or perhaps is the crazy going on there that makes you want to do so! The foothills of the Smoky Mountains are rural and very tucked away -- you could choose from any state and even be in the mountains themselves! People in the Southern and mid Western states generally are more friendly than Florida, but that's mine and daughter's experience.

Wow. I assume you've completely packed. Maybe it's best for you to come south in whatever legal way you can, and find a weekly rental place or something. Depending on your personal belongings, there are storage facilities all over the place. Some do monthly rental. I mean pick Texas for now so that if you stay, at least you are already someplace you want to be?

Yes; that's what I hear about real estate sales, going quickly. So if money isn't an issue, then pick a nice temporary place in TX. This is to get yourself safe and okay while everything comes to a head. I have been through a lot, but not your situation; moving is always stressful. Do the packing, deciding about items as quickly as possible. You can rent a UHaul or whatever -- maybe there's a friend to help you pick it up, hitch the car on the back or whatever. Goodness, this is a lot. The types of places I suggested are weekly rentals you can find on the Net. One is called Stay America, but I know nothing about them. They are pricey, but it's in a bind you'd do that to stay somewhere while you figure the rest out. DM me if you want. This is a lot of info!!
