First a question: how old are you?

Another thing, not to slag Cali-phorny-ans tooooo much, but the 'we got it all already Dude' is a good way to spend your life thinking the world is made of DisneyDrive-Ins, In&OutBurgers and Orange Julius stands. So-Cal is nice (my step Mother's family owns the Rancho San Julie Ann outside of Santa Barbara, so I've spent a lot of time there) but it became the left coast's over crowded 'rat race central' a long time ago. It is easy to believe that it is the be all/end all if you are surrounded by it and see alot of Baywatch style self-hype. Personally living there in 85-87 is one of the main reasons I left the country for an extended period as an adult. :P :evil: :P Bottom line is that you're putting WAY too much thought into it all, just let go and GO! Sell what you don't want, store what you can't bring yourself to get rid of (I've got a pile of stuff at a friends farm in Luxembourg, you want a 1000 Ninja Kawasaki, or some cook books?), and take only what you really need! You really don't need all that stuff, and you can get new stuff, or ship the old stuff, hey it's just stuff! :lol: The question is do you really want to go, and what do you want from it? If it is an expanded horizon then their is little reason to wait! Personally I think you should be really adventurous and go live in Asia! :wink: :P :lol: Tiki-tiki! :tiki: [ Edited by: Rattiki 2006-09-12 01:40 ]
