moving to kenai?

[kittyhox]

I think most people would like Homer. It is gorgeous and fun.

I spent some time in Kenai (my aunt lives in Soldotna), which I always liked a lot.

The people in either area are really great. Very real, friendly, and quirky.

And the weather would be a big improvement from Fairbanks (where I lived as a kid)...

I will bet you there are more Californians in Kenai in the summer than in California.

We have been over-run with tourists the last few years.

Everyone wants to build or buy a cabin and fish the river!

My wife and are retiring in a few months. We plan to buy a camper then drive the full length of California, at 5 miles per hour! Just to see how many cars we can line up behind us.

Although your intentions are good, there's nothing to see or do beyond their National Parks. Redwood NP is unreal, massive trees and thousands of years old. Then head on over to Lassen, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, Sequoia, Death Valley Parks. While your at it, Grand Canyon in Arizona, Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef and Arches National Parks in Utah. Save Colorado, Wyoming and Montana for next summer.

We live in Soldotna, we have seen some nice houses with great mountain views but they do not stay on the market long, we fell in love with a lovely cedar sided house with an awesome mountain view it was well worth the money at 310,000 but it went super fast.

A word to the wise Soldotna gets crazy busy here from about June to Sept. Its good for the stores but it can get alittle frustrating when all these people appear in town. My hubby is not patient and he finds it almost too much he has been talking about moving! We are not!!
Homer is very pretty though, if there was work there I am sure thats where we would go. Although he has been talking about Fairbanks, thats a
big NO WAY, not because it get so very cold but because it get so very hot in the summer. After wintering here I find 72 it too hot for me, guess you aclimatise very quickly.
Good Luck

With no job waiting just going to go. I am in my mid 30's and fell in love with Alaska after going on a cruise this June.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on moving co's that they have had any luck with. I am moving from Nashville TN.
Also I want to move to a smaller town..... must have a mountain view. Any ideas???

I'm trying to move up from Nashville as well. Let me know how the adjustment goes!
