Update:

Came up and had a great time. The area is beautiful and it's not nearly as rural as I'd imagined, but not overbuilt either. Everyone I talked to was pretty chill, and hospital made us a good offer.

Quit my job down here yesterday, and almost did cartwheels all the way out to my car.

Long story short, we'll be up in 3 weeks!

Thanks for the info everyone-

I'm from LI, too, so don't expect a Long Island diner...diners in New England tend to be holes in the wall, have mismatched decor, but full of charm and decent food.

We also went to the Science Museum (again may not be the name) in Burlington. It's near Lake Champlain, you can take a boat to Plattsburgh.

It's a nice little area, maybe a bit like Port Jeff...

As far as being vegetarians, my husband is one and you can always find something in Vermont (diners offer omelets).

If you see any signs for CO-OP, these are often natural food stores where you can pick up food you will be happy with (our local one sells cooked soups and so on) as well as packaged goods.

Having been in this state 2 years, I have to say there is good and bad.

Is it better than Long Island?? Well, yes, I think so. Even if we leave this state in 6 months, going back to that 'dirty and crowded' place is not an option.

Good luck in whatever you decide.
The Science Museum is Echo, and the Burlington ferry goes to Port Kent, not Plattsburgh. The ferry to Plattsburgh is from Grande Isle.

Hi, I just read your posts and I welcome you to Vermont. Your attitude about winter in your first post was right on... find something to do outdoors and embrace it. Get out and do some spring downhill skiing, preferably on a sunny day. Morse mountain at Smugglers Notch in Jeffersonville is a perfect place for a beginner to learn. Enjoy the flowers! Spring comes earlier in Burlington than the rest of the state, but when it pops out into the full emerald green of early summer that is sure to come, you will be hard pressed to find anyplace more beautiful than a sunset from waterfront park.

If the OP is still out there I'd love to hear an update on life in VT. Tell us about your knitting and skiing. Inspire others.

I always like to hear how it's going for people who have moved here, but mustmove, I don't knit or ski -- is that what you did when you lived in Vermont? Perhaps simultaneously?
