[quote=bearishgurl]Ha! I didn’t realize that allergy problems caused YOU to leave your home state, sdduuuude![/quote]
It didn’t, but it keeps me away. I left for graduate school and realized how awful it was after I left. I went home for Spring Break after a year of allergy-free living and thought I was going to die.
While I think Paradise Valley is nicer, more like the La Jolla of AZ than Scottsdale, I think the AZ transplant is going to be just fine. I just hope their respiratory system is amenable to the desert environment. Winter in AZ is like paradise, really, and few things are more pleasant than rain in the desert.
I’d suggest getting one of those Southwest Airlines credit cards. Charge everything on it, earn free flights and use them to go surfing in SD.
Or, substitute wakeboarding for surfing. If I recall, there are more boats per capita in AZ than any other state. They must store them somewhere.
