I'd like to try something new and exciting. It's a big country, and Americans receive puny vacations. I figure, if I want to see some new sites, this would be the way to do it
Dallas/Arlington

Well during football season since I am a Cowboys fan

Default Nice thread

If I could make lots of bread and be in an ideal climate I'd go with the U.S. Virgin islands for sure !!!!

Beautiful beaches , fishing , sun , food and NO SNOW

States like CA or FL may be nice but the crime , traffic , noise and nutty taxes / nuts are wayyy too many .

Granted, I went in at 7 AM and got off at 5.

I found the NW part of Houston to be worse for traffic. Even on the weekends I typically found you could get anywhere around the 610 loop in around 45 minutes unless there was a huge event, construction, or an accident.

Just some observations from my experience there.

Yes I've lived here for the last 16 or 17 years, mostly north of I-10 and west of I-45. I used to work at 59 and Fondren (27 miles one way) and it took me about 45 mins to 1 hour to get to work and 1 hr to 1-1/2 hours coming home. Crazy traffic. I believe the traffic coming my part of town (extreme NW side) is much worse now than when I had that commute - hours were 7am to 3:30pm. I've heard coming in from Sugar Land, Pearland, and Kingwood isn't bad but I've never done it.

I already moved to WA from IN. The jobs are here, no doubt, but COL is high.

Given a second choice, MI. Beautiful beaches, forests, four seasons, less traffic, lower COL, decent number of mid career positions (much better than Indy, anyway), closer to family.
