I am finally on my way, moving to Albuquerque. I can't wait! We are leaving on March 9th, driving the southern route from Seattle on the advice of those in the general moving issues forum.
Got a place to live and several job interviews set up. It's a dream come ture.
Christylou-
Hey! I just moved to Santa Fe from the midwest last week. *laughs* They are SOOO right about the moisturizers! Within two days of being here my lips were so chapped I didn't want to be seen in public!
Anyway. My only two words of advise. I never knew how often the wind blows here.... or I guess more in Co rather. A "high wind advisory" set our moving caravan back nearly a day because the winds were gusting at 60mph. Maybe you already knew that...had I known we woulda headed out earlier!
Also! Whatever you do...don't pull into town at dark. We got here around 1am and I feel, personally, that that made my transition as well as my North south east west orientation WAY off. One week later and I still feel like I'm driving N when Im really going S. Its a scary feeling and hard to shake off.
Otherwise...good luck! The weather is incredible here! Annnd..my hubby will be working in ABQ so you wont be the only new one to the area!
Good Luck. Oh. And I don't like you anymore for moving before me, but I think I told you that already :-)
I'll be crossing my fingers for ya on the job thing- I know how you feel about that.
Can't wait to read your next post on the matter....
"Sitting here on my front porch, enjoying the New Mexico sunshine....."

We made our journey about 18 months ago from the DC area! I love it!
