My parents used to pick me up at the airport, but they're currently
in their 70s and 80s and do not drive anymore.
Vancouver is indeed a beautiful city with a very sizable Asian
population and mild maritime climate. I think it would be an ideal
city in which to spend one's retirement years. A winter home in the
temperate part of the US would not be a bad choice either, but
upkeeping two homes can be inconvenient and expensive, especially
if both homes are in different countries.
I can see myself moving to the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or
Washington) after retirement, assuming those places haven't been
overrun by illegal immigrants from the south by that time.

Aiyoh, MG, you ARE really into this Hainanese Chicken Rice thing
eh? Why don't I send you Prima Taste Chicken Rice retail pack? But
what's my commission? 
Told you, don't have to go far, just drop by TO. You
will be SHOCKED!!!! 
Back in the early 90s, the Bank transferred me out West to
Vancouver. However, hubby was resistant to the move. So, I did live
there for a while but can't say I enjoy it because was satu orang,
missed family in TO. Eventually, transferred back to TO and live
happily ever after. 
Hence, not really sure retirement will be out
west. 
I've got uncles in NJ and Arizona. NJ is out, not trading winter
for winter, so perhaps Arizona may be an option. Like you, I did
check out Oregon and Washington. Anyways, still another 10 years
before we retire. Anything can happen by then, right?
