Finally, after so long, I'm moving down south, to South Carolina. Got a job, signed a lease on an apartment, and I'm gonna get my first car down there. Things are looking up, and I hope that down the line, I'm making the right decision.
Very good luck to you! With that car, there will be lots of great sites to see in a day-trip radius. I was horrified when my husband was sent down south to a military base, since we had both grown up in the urban north; but once I got there, I was so blown away by the sunshine, the countryside attractions and sweet tempered people. (Except if you mess with them, so don’t mess.)
Good for you! You are moving at a good time; it’s not hot down here right now, and you will miss the NYC Winter. Well played.
Enjoy your new life.
He’ll have to come to Texas for good barbecue.
It may take a while, but give it time. After a while it becomes home.
Good Luck.
Welcome to the South, hon!
Good Luck to you! And best wishes!
“Congratulations! I knew Snake Plissken could get you out!”
...that’s funny!
I was gonna say “You’re in my prayers cuz big changes are tough to do.”
BUT YOU DON’T NEED THEM!!!!!
Big chunk of my family headed south years ago and I’ll be there when I retire.
“Put a little butter, salt and pepper in those grits...You’ll love ‘em...”
Wallpaper paste with butter, salt and pepper...mmmmm good! :)
I’m from California. Went to Oklahoma to visit my cousin and we drove to Branson to spend the day and night. There was bumper to bumper traffic on the main road that goes around Branson. I’m driving and we needed to turn left so I put my blinker on, stopped, and prepared to wait. The guy coming toward me in the other lane stops, holding up traffic, and just sits there. I looked at my cuz and said…what the hell is that idiot doing?! I thought she was gonna bust a gut laughing while she said….he’s waiting on you, gonna let you go. I said…why?! Meanwhile traffic is stopped all around us on both sides of the 2 lane road. Lol. Finally she said…just go! He’s just being nice! I went. 😂😂
Try the ones at Waffle House next time you’re down here. Good and buttery!
The first time you see a Bojangles, don’t think, just go in and enjoy some southern-fried chicken, biscuits, and sweet tea.
You can thank me later.
Good tips - what ansel12 said in reply 13.
The only way that decision could be any more right is if you made it years ago.
Remember it ain’t NYC so much much patience needed with the locals til you get it...
Left SoCal for Prescott almost 2 yrs ago
Mostly positive , Weather I swings are
extreme.
Best of luck to you.
