I gotta believe Lawrence was being purely sarcastic.... mocking the "lilly white" segment of our culture. Thats how I read it anyway.
Try East Asia. I swear you'll feel like a vampire in no time (especially with the current DST difference) -- get up when the sun is about to set, go to sleep when it just gets light outside. On the flipside, it definitely motivates you to automate everything. I suppose two places have everything YOU actually want. Portugal and Canary Islands - both in ideal timezones (market open 14:30, close 21:00). You can do everything you need before the open and can have drinks after the close. Both are fairly modern places with hot climates. Language is a problem but you'll encounter boatloads of English speakers in both places.
I live in the Philippines, moved here from Washington. It does not meet your time zone requirements and yes it is hot but I have a fiber optic connection, easy to trade the Asian and European sessions or you can catch the first part of the US session. They speak English and there is a huge expat community. Cost of living is extremely good for somebody living on USD. $400 a month for a huge place in a gated community with guards, clean water supply, beach, three pools, a resort and restaurant. Many long time retired guys here and help on the living in the Philippines forum. There is nothing like home though, our freedoms, legal system and access to goods is simply unmatched. Good luck,
