Good luck to ya. I think being that you have no family,etc entrenched down here, I think it’s positive that you can move around a bit…
I moved a bit around from L.A., tp N.Y to S.D. to Bay Area and back to S.D., only to wan to move back to the Bay Area eventually. I like to see the seasons change and be closer to the slopes during the winter.
Long, long term, Vancouver would be nice too :)[/quote]
I agree with this – before you have kids, you have freedom to move around, but post kids, it’s nice to have family around. Pre kids I left San Diego for B’ham WA, then Philly, then Atlanta, back to Philly,… had a kid, and moved “home” to where my parents and sister were. To handle the in-law issue we built a granny flat and moved them out here too.
Given my druthers – I agree that Vancouver is awesome. I used to go there a lot when I lived in Bellingham. I love that part of the world – even if they say “eh” too much and think Mazda is pronounced Maaahzda. (flat a like in cat.)
