thats cool advice.... does the area have a good of bad reputation, does the area have good schooling, is it a good crime or bad crime area? All these questions and sometimes the locals or people that know the area are the best to ask....
Yeah its huge decision and I have decided that we wont move unless it feels 99% right, there is always going to be a 1% unsure factor. I spent a few months working and living out in Denver back in 2004 for a previous job and enjoyed that lifestyle. It gave me an insight into living in America but I don't know if Denver and Huntington Beach has much in common.
If they offered me a move to Denver I would take it I loved it there
