RELOCATING...

If you can move anywhere in the world where would you live?  With $ not being an issue, children/schools are a priority.  I always wondered how people just relocate across the country with there whole family?!  Going into an unknown territory where you don't know anyone in the town.  Like the original pioneers settling in new valleys and making a "foreign" land home.  I am sure the original settlers were in search of  uncharted land in hopes of finding valuable natural resources (gold), or food, or perhaps a new beginning.  Wouldn't we all want a "new beginning" as well?  A chance to start over and make things right.  A chance to do some things over without people, family or friends, telling you - you can't do it.  Looking at the endless possibilities of being a fresh start in your life, or your career - or even a new career altogether.  If presented with such an opportunity, what would you do?  Would you take the chance and leave everything and/or everyone behind?  Would you take that "leap of faith" and move across country from the known to the unknown?

I was presented with such an opportunity.  It's not a career move or career change (although it could be a possible career change).  It would entail moving my whole family - spouse, kids, mother and teenage nephew.  I am actually able to move wherever I want to go - just get ready to leave and pack.  Have not decided where to go but I gave myself 9-10 months to decide where I would want to live.  I do have to consider my children, especially my autistic son.  My spouse is probably just as ready as I am to leave the Big Apple - looking for greener pastures, now that we are reaching our "middle ages."  Not a slower pace to live but a nicer place to live.

So I ask you again if you can move anywhere in the world where would you live?  and why?
