No Alaska for me, moving to Georgia :(

[Lanesuzza]

It had always been a goal of mine to travel and fly in Alaska. During the summer of 2005 I went to work for a small air taxi company. That summer my wife was able to get time off from her very busy work schedule to visit for 10 days. Since that visit, she has been eager to quit her job (Civil Engineering) and move to AK for a slower, more honest, fill in the blank, lifestyle. It is time to get away from all the crime here in AZ.

It looks like the time is near. October. I have an employment opportunity lined up.

PS-I am scared of bears! AND I can't shoot! HELP!

If you want to do something bad enough, you can. It's amazing what a little will-power can do. Just depends if you want to give a few things up to gain a few more ( material crap here, not people).
Relocating up here isn't easy on your own, take it from me. But it can be done.
I got here, got a job the 2nd day, as a day laborer at a construction site. And here I was, an engineer with 18 yrs experience. But it was a job, and I was where I wanted to be. Got the job I wanted eventually tho.
Just make a plan.
