I'm a 30 year old white guy, my g/f is 24 and asian. I have 7 years of corporate experience, as an analyst/project manager. I'm sick of the fast paced, rat race in the DC area!

I checked housing costs, they seem to be the same as DC, maybe even a tad cheaper. Gas only seems to be about $.10/gallon more. Traffic in DC is some of the worst in the country, so that's no concern. I'm also used to a VERY diverse crowd, it seems that no one race is the majority in the DC area. I'm used to taking 1-1.5 hours to go 20 miles. I'm originally from Cape Cod, where I lived until I was 18. So, I'm somewhat used to a tourism-based island economy, but of course not as much as HI.

I'm also an avid jetskier, so this is very important to me. Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts, please post em. And hello from nasioc

 

Welcome. It's funny caz we got a i-clubber who just moved to the DC area. Hum... I'm not into watersports that much so I don't know if I see much jetskiing going on... tho there are plenty of open waters for you to do that.

 

Do you know who? I'd love to chat with him on IM, about some of his likes/dislikes.

 

LOL...I hope that when I'm 30 I can scam some bootay from 24 year old girls!!!



You know that the median cost for houses here is over $500K...right?

 

Wait wait wait.... but do you own a subie

 

Well my wife and I just moved from the DC area to here in NOV 04. One thing is traffic isnt as bad as DC. People are way more laid back. DC is a madhouse but yeah let me know what you want to know....

 

liar. you love the watersports. Chuckie, the Golden Shower King.


welcome. traffic is laid back and slow during the rush hours. depending where you'd live, 20 miles can take 1.5 hours.

don't let it bother you though. well worth the move

 

i know in hawaii kai you can do some jet skiing.

 

Sometimes getting 15 miles can take you an hour and a half .

 

If I leave my office to go home at 5pm, It takes about 40 minutes to go 3 miles through town, this is why I tend to stay until 5:30ish

 

werd^^^

if i try to go from my place to ala moana(about 10 blocks total) around 4pm, it takes around a half hour

 

i used to live in centreville, va. but the i-clubber who moved from here lives in sterling, Va. his SN is outlaw23. hope it helps

 

count on earning 30% less.

 

Well, currently I'm supporting my g/f as she finishes school. Once she gets her nursing degree, we'll be earning double. So, a small paycut is ok.

To the other poster, I own a 2002 WRX and a 2005 STi

 

My wife and I are from Alexandria, VA. I lived there for about 6 years.
