Yup. As soon as my wife retires, we're moving away from Va Beach. Between

the traffic, tourists, and jet noise, the quality of life is not to be found. When I was younger, maybe the beach had an allure but there are plenty of nice beaches with much less hassle. And I don't do beach anymore anyway.
