22-8-2010 - Moving abroad

My mood while writing this blog:
Excited & Nervous

Hi My lovely IAP mommies, hope you and you lo's are doing great.
I need some help from the mommies living in Florida and California as we are thinking of moving to either state next year from Ireland. Dont get me wrong I love it here, its my home land and it is so beautiful but the weather and price of living is getting us down big time....hence the decision to move.
I was wondering if any of you mommies could reccomend good family areas in Florida and Cali, with great amenities and schools etc etc......... Its such a big decision to make and I was hoping I could get some advice from you guys on the pros and cons to living in both states.
Thanks soooooooooooooo much for any help you can give.
Lotsa luv
Tina & Ava xoxoxoxo

Thank you all so much for your suggestions and advice, you guys are the best...will keep you updated on what we decide. We will be quite a while waiting to hear back about visas etc so we are looking at moving to spain for a year while we wait. Myself and Simon met while we were working in Lanzarote and still have alot of friends out there, so we are going to head back there while we wait to hear about our visas for the states. Thanks ladies will keep you all posted, Love ya xx

Hey sweetie! I don't live in either Florida or California, but I'm in Georgia which is right above Florida. If its the coast you are interested in, I've always loved Destin and St. Augustine. Good luck in your decision making! Hugs!

Tina I am so happy and comfortable here in California there are great areas by San Diego or a city called ranching cucamonga. There are so many more cities, but those are the two that come to my mind :)

Hi hun! I live in San Diego now but I also lived in West Palm Beach, FL. Both are great places to live. San Diego is wonderful because the weather is amazing and there are so many different outdoor activities. You could surf in the morning and snowboard in the afternoon. The best area to live in, would be Poway. They have the best School districts in San Diego. As for Florida, Tarpon Springs, FL and Jupiter are great areas as well. Tarpon Springs is on the west coast of FL and Jupiter is on the east coast of FL. If you have any additional questions, please let me know. I am here to help and I spend a lot of time back home in West Palm too.

florida is really nice, the city of wellington in west palm beach is an awesome area, though the cost of living is high.

I haven't lived in either place really... well California when I was very little. Wish I could offer some better help on that front!

What made you decide on those two states? How about South Carolina?? LOL. That's where I live!! Haha!! 'I'm obvioulsy going to be partial to the east coast because that's where I've grown up and I just love it!! So I'd say move to Florida and highonlife is soo right, the cost of living is way cheaper in Florida! I just don't know too much about the school systems. That's soo exciting about moving!! And what a BIG move!!! I'd post a poll with this question if you haven't already because you're sure to get good feedback on both!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
