How long did it take you to go back to where you moved from after you moved?

I still hope to one day move back to the US, in the meantime I make do here in Europe...

Did any of you really want to move to a place before you moved? Like dreamed about living there first and then hated it once you got there?
I grew up on Cape Cod, MA, moved when I was in my teens to Phoenix with my parents. I have lived here for 20 years and it has become my home but have always had the yearning to move back to the Cape. I look at old pics and homes back there and can't wait to get back there.
Now we are moving in Feb back to the Cape! I'm excited but starting to wonder if it isn't going to be what I thought it was when I was young. A lot of people think I'm crazy for moving from the desert to the East coast. They are always telling me I will hate it after the first winter and they all want to move to the desert.
People have called me crazy for so long I'm wondering if I should be listening. lol

I want to just "go for it", but...............these stories have got me thinking a bit...........
Anyone move from a desert climate to a moist cooler climate and like it?
It's a far move, and I am only really concerned about the weather. But that seems to make it or break it for a lot of people.

I moved from cooler climate (OR) to the desert 10-11 years ago for husbands job. We've moved from Tucson, to Irvine CA, and then to where I'm at now in Palm Springs area. At first I liked the desert (Tucson anyway) but here I'm really getting sick of the heat, and would love to move to somewhere cooler. We always moved for jobs, so I've never had the fun and excitement of moving somewhere just because it calls to you. I hope to do that someday. If I can't get back to Oregon soon where family is, I really have a hankering for the Davis/Sacramento area. Don't know why.
Think you should think about doing it. If it doesn't work out at least you tried it. If you don't you may look back and wonder "what if" in the future.

Yea, thats what I'm more afraid of, the "what if" I don't. lol
I love Davis Ca. Good luck on that, one day I hope. Thanks for the encouragement!
