Wanting to move from Arizona!!

05-17-2005, 05:43 PM

Anyone know any good places for family. We are looking at all states.. We don't want to go home to Illinois and we don't want to stay here. Confused and looking for help..

I've never lived in the USA. From what I've seen and heard, Hawaii must come high on a list of places there to live. I'm reading a book about the islands at the moment.

If you think that's not suitable, say why and I'll try again with better information.

We have actually thought about Hawaii. It looks like a beautiful place.. We are so tired of all the heat.. Here in Arizona.

hawaii is extremely expensive from what i am told.... do stay away from the swampland/hurricane/alligator and snake-infested state of florida! ...Carla will highly recommend the san diego area.

Lady, you just want more elbow room!

The only problems I saw with Hawaii, surfing the net, were high costs of rentals, groceries and transport back and forth. Apart from that, if you can find a job there before you head out, it seems perfect.

Apart from that, New England or Seattle spring to mind as beautiful places on the mainland where summer heat is less of a crisis.

Oregon is a great place to raise kids. Lots of space, a slower pace, and the teens here seem about 10 years behind the teens in Chicago. Summers can get up to the 90s but there is rarely any humidity. However, the winters are all rain - that's what makes it so incredibly green here. It's a semi-temperate rain forest, plus we have the high desert, the mountains, and the Pacific Ocean.

Yeah we have checked it out on the internet and it is really expensive for everything there. I was thinking like somewhere in the country.. LIke Montana, Idaho, Oregan or Utah..

After consulting with a SOOTHSAYER about your question and having a vision or two, I am encouraged to tell you to try Bend, Oregon.

Bend? Are you sure they said Bend? Not Salem?

Did the soothsayer have a coupon?

Dear Susie, most places have some good things about them and some bad .....just in different ratios! Very interested to hear you want to leave Arizona as one of my friends here in England is actually about to retire out there!!!
