For those that left NJ, and returned (or plan to)
This may seem silly, but what did you guys do when you were feeling homesick for NJ?
I have yet to live there, but I feel more at home there than I ever have elsewhere (so, it feels like home to me, and I pretty much consider it so, right now).
I've been away for almost 5 months, and I'm working on saving the money to move, so a visit, unfortunately, is out of the question, since I'd rather save the money to live there. However, missing NJ tremendously is eating me up.  
So, what did you guys do? Shanny? anyone? |

Every time I feel I miss So. NJ, I pick up my book "The Soprano State" & start reading it, then I check the home prices and the sad feeling leaves me as fast as it came on. Visiting the kids twice a year and stocking up on Italian bread and pizza is all I need to come back to our home in the South.
Good luck in your move and save lots of money. |

Same here- all it took was a short 4-day visit to remind me why we left. Next time I won't even need to do that- I'll just think back to the last time I visited, and how it just wasn't "home" anymore. |

Left for 4 years and although I liked my new area (Old Westbury, NY) I tend to miss NJ but not where I used to live. NY has way too much traffic and the cost of living is a bit higher than NJ. Also although the area I am in has open areas, there is nothing like the amount that NJ has.
