California was fun but I'm moving back to Florida...

Well, not really destination to destination but I managed to drive from SD to Pensacola in less than 2 days.(Fri 1pm to Sun 8am not including the 3hrs I lost in the time change)

SUMMARY:
Left Sacramento Thurs 9am and got to Orlando Sun. 10pm.
I'm totally exhausted....never drove so much in my life.
Just slept for 14 hrs after I got home.

-Distance: 2995 miles
-Gas: $247(Averaging 30mpg @ ~$2.50/gal)
-Lodging: $44.15
-Food: $38.00 ??
-Stopped twice: $0(Cause my headlight was out). Only warnings 🙂
-Pit stop in TJ: $$$$$$$(more than money spent on gas, food and lodging combined)
-Home again: PRICELESS !!!


I really missed my friends.
I missed the beer drinking, poker games, golfing, shooting pool, fishing on the lake.....

I was planning to stay in Cali for at least a year but its been only about 7 months and I'm bored to death.
I realized friends that I've known for years with common interests....I can't find very easily.

What I learned in California:

- If you drive a Civic, you better park it in the garage.
- The wages aren't neccessarily higher here even though living expenses are much, much higher here.

I mean if you're not a professional, you're making the same wages as in Fla.
I don't see how people can afford to live here if you don't have a career.

I wish I can snap my fingers and be back in Fla but my car is with me so its gonna be a long drive back.
Packing right now.....heading out tommorow.

Where in Cali do you live? I moved to Los Angeles in 1990 from New York and met someone 3 months after moving here. We are married now and since she's from California she doesn't want to leave. I'm a lifer. Oh well, at least I got her to move 90 miles from where she grew up...we are in San Diego now. 😀
 
I left Cocoa Beach and havent looked back, west coast is the best coast 😛.

*edit* the main reason i left, is that the east coast hardly ever gets real waves.
 
California and florida have one big thing in common - they both have some ridiculously positive things about them, as well as some ridiculously negative things about them.
 
I forget, weren't you the one who couldn't close the deal with some girl?

You wouldn't be moving back if you had closed the deal. 😛

Thats the thing.
One of my intention was to find a mate and if I did,I probably would have ended up staying here.
I thought my chance would be better here because I'm Asian and Cali is full of Asians.
Problem is the first girl I hooked up with turned out to be a psycho.

I dated a couple of those types after moving here but was lucky enough to find the one woman in Cali who isn't insane. J/K...sort of. 😀

Those of us who live in the North East.

So Red, whats your verdict ?? West coast or East coast ??

Never been to Florida. I think a valid comparison to Boston/N.E. would be somewhere up in Canada, not California, Oregon or Washington.
