If they made it to NY I'm going to guess it was to NYC..... I'm moving to Rochester, a good 7-8 hours from NYC. lol. The only seafoods I like are crutations (sp?) and steamed clams.

We also have 3 small school age kids.

I want out of California so bad. I was raised in North Carolina, thought I would never want to go back.

I would like to move to Union County or in South Carolina over the border.
We'll see...

High desert, like Victorville or Apple Valley?

Current Status:

relocated from So. CA 2 1/2 years ago (never want to go back to CA)....parents followed 8 months later (never want to go back to CA)...friends from CA will be arriving tomorrow for a week...this is their second visit since we have moved here (doing my best to get them to come back for good...will see).
Do you like South Carolina better than North Carolina? What town are you in...looking to relocate to NC Union County area but not sure about schools....any insight would be great...

I like where I live (Tega Cay, SC) very much....and am only speaking for myself. It is away from things..yet not to far away. The schools the children attend are Fort Mill school district (which we have been very pleased with). Although I came from the 34th largest city in the nation/5th largest city in CA...I now find myself after 2 1/2 years of living here...trying to stay away from as much hustle and bustle as I can (kind of like...it's nice to visit uptown Charlotte or South Park...but I wound not want to live there). Do I like one state over another...not really...just happens that we found what we where looking for in SC (if that makes any sense whatsoever). Both states have so much to offer...other than just the same few places that continue to pop up on these forums over and over again.

TornadoAlley: We live in Victorville. Ugly brown desert, rude people, expensive homes, very congested due to fast growth in recent years. It is not for me. Only good thing is we did get a home early on and we live near family.

lovethecarolinas: It is encouraging to see someone from Cali liking it back east. Was it a huge culture shock? Have you adapted ok to the humidity? Bugs? Are people really friendlier than our here?

Just a few questions.

Just a few questions.
Culture shock: the only shock I had was how nice people were (anyone currently living in CA....ask yourself...when was the last time you made eye contact with a person that you do not know...now take that a step further and you, and this person you made eye contact with now actually greet each other)....now that's shocking. The humidity...once I changed hair sprays I was good to go! (the worst of the humidity only lasts 2 months at the longest...and the other 10 months of the year more than make up for those 2). I don't like Palmetto Bugs but then again I didn't like then in CA either (cockroach), mosquitos I do not like but there again we had those in CA, there are also some new species that I have not seen before moving here.... yet I don't bother them and they don't bother me. Where I lived in CA we have/had a problem with killer bees...I was backing out of my driveway one day and noticed a huge black spot on my neighbors car..I rolled down my window to get a better look...just about that time they started to swarm around...I quickly realized they were killer bees. My neighbor two doors down had a hive on the side of her garage (luckily my children, nor any other children in the neighborhood were not out playing at the time).....so for me....I'll take these bugs out here.
