I fell in love with the weather. So, so beautiful. The people were friendly and I felt so at home. So I did a little investigating into what changes would be in store for us if we were to move to the west coast.
I could go without a jacket or coat for the rest of my life. I would have a "good-hair day" for the rest of my life because I wouldn't deal with humidity. You know curly hair and humidity don't mix. The average temperatures in Monterey are 57 -78 degrees year round. I could live in a beautiful state and gaze at that beautiful countryside and enjoy all it has to offer. I could have a movie-star for a governor. Ahhh.... Arnold Schwarznegger.
On the other hand, I would pay almost double in state income taxes. I would deal with all the social ills that befall that gorgeous state. And I could live in a tar-paper shack because that's all we could afford.
I just don't see a move to the west coast happening in the near future. As much as I loved it while I was there, we are staying here for now. Dang it!!

my husband would like to end up back in california. i, like you, prefer not to live in the tar shack. who knows. plus, i think california is the first state to get zapped at armageddon.
nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.
