How to move to a different state? -

What is the process of moving states? I currently reside in Indiana and I want to move to Colorado very soon (within a year at best) but I m unsure of the steps. I m still young (19) so would it even be possible at this age?I want to move into an apartment but how do I go about doing that? I know I need to save up the money of course, but how do I know the apartment is right for me without being able to see it?Do I save up enough money to move there and for rent for a few months and THEN find a job or somehow get a job from here? How would I do that?Also, what else would need to be done?Thank you in advance!

There are ways. Go to www.rent.com or www.apartments.com and do a search for the city and state you are interested in. The sites will show photos of the properties with all the amenities and current rents. Once you see a complex that you like, call the local police and ask them how that neighborhood is for crime. To get an idea on gas prices, go to www.gasbuddy .com and search your area of interest. It updates every day. I would figure moving costs and living expenses and save enough to live for at least 6 months AFTER moving expenses and rental deposits.Every newspaper has a website. Do a Yahoo search for the local paper by city and state. There you can look at the want ads.Do a search for your city of interest under Demographics. This way you can get an idea of the population size, racial make up, media age of the the residents, and average income levels.Go to www.webshots.com and do a search for pictures of the area that interests you. It will give you a better picture of the area in your mind.Email some local real estate agents under the pretense of house hunting. Ask them what the safer areas are to look in in your price range.I have family in Denver. It is getting very crowded and built up there. I also have family in Grand Junction. It is smaller, yet good sized and nicer, but is a high desert area, not mountains.

I have a 12 year old son and a 15 year old daughter.We already been to disney and we are planning another vact? -

vaction and would like to know a nice place to go on vaction in july.

Have you asked your children what places they might like to go? When they can answer if they want somewhere tropical, or something with culture and history, then you can make a better decision on where to go.Places like Italy are beautiful and have an incredible history and culture and would be an amazing experience. Greece and Spain are also similar. Something tropical like Jamaica or Turks Caicos would be great for snorkeling or scuba or jet skiing. Maybe they might actually enjoy the shopping in China. (Heard things are super cheap there!)Maybe Hawaii would be great if they would like to try surfing. It s all about what your kids might like and what they would enjoy.Hope this helps! :)

If you have to stay in the states then I would consider these three places-New York City-would be super fun for your daughter and son, go to yankee stadium, bike through central park, go shopping, visit time square-cruise to Alaska-great if you are outdoorsy, in the winter it isn t so miserably cold and you can go hiking in the most beautiful places-hawaii-amazing fun for a summer beach vacation (if you don t want to fly eight hours, try Hilton Head South Carolina, almost the exact same beachy fun.

It all depends on if your trying to stay n the US or go out to the country. If you are going to stay in the US , Yes Williamburg, VA is a gret choice. If going out of the US, you can try Cancun, Bahamas, and Jamaica. All these destination have children progrms of all ages: childrens clubs, beach, pool, game rooms and things off hotel properties. I would first determine how much are you trying to spend and go from there

Europe. Im a 13 year old boy and I went to greece last summer and it was soo much fun. Its cool to see how other cultures do things. plus, there was a lot of cool islands to go to and stuff. It was really cool and my whole family enjoyed it. P.S. I have a 10 year old sister

Cabo in Mexico is really nice

Williamsburg, VA. You can bring them to busch gardens (Popular Theme Park) and water country (Water theme park)

How about some were different like the Bahamas or just go to a condo/hotel for just fun!

Why do I want to move to Wisconsin? -

I was born, raised, and lived my entire life in Northern Virginia. I have grown to despise the people here, which seems to me that they just come here from other parts of the country to destroy the area and reap its benefits.Here is my story:I am a senior in collegeI am a devote Green Bay Packer fan,I ve been to WI many times (but only in the summer....I know plenty about the winters in WI. Don t lecture me about how cold it is. Believe me, I know)I want to live in a small townBUT- My entire family is in Virginia, I know just a few people in Wisconsin. Being away from my family won t bother me much, but I will still need to see them.I just don t understand why I want to go there, but I really do want to live there and leave my area. Can anyone tell me why (psychological reasons perhaps)?3 days ago

Because Mid west people are more friendlier...Not as crowded...Fishing and hunting...Cheese...People knpw your name and care...Cold winters make people want company to stay warm..college party towns...(Go to Madison for halloween...) Wisconsin Dells in the Summer...Minneapolis if you get lonely for the big city...Take Care Good Luck...

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it��and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again��and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore. ��Mark Twain(think about it)

I lived in Wisconsin for a couple of years and found it to be very nice and a beautiful state to live in. I just missed mountains so I went back west. I say go for it. If you don t, you will always wonder, what if .A small town? Look at the Baraboo area. It is quite nice there. Good luck.

I can t psycho-analys you from what you have said, but my opinion is:You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Go for it. And if you find Wisconsin isn t your cup of tea, go somewhere else while you are young enough to do it.

Driving from Salt Lake City Utah to Forks Washington in May? -

I know its a bit early but I m going to have to stretch my budget as far as it will go. We are going to go to Forks Washington in May for the Twilight tour (I know, nerdy and over the top but what can I say?? lol) My hubby is indulging me for our anniversary We are either driving or flying. My husband would rather fly but I m thinking there has to be something along the way to make a whole trip out of it. I hate flying and avoid it if I can! Is there anything fun/cool/interesting from Salt Lake City to Forks Washington? Its a LONG drive so there has to be some interesting places! Willing to go a little out of the way for things that are worth it! Also if you know of anything to do around/by Forks that would be great also! I know there is the beach and of course the Twilight tour but I don t think there is much else there! Except the Forest which my hubby is SO excited about! Thanks for any advice!

Well, you ll be driving on I-84 straight through Boise, Idaho, but there s nothing really there to do that you can t do somewhere else, you know? Unless you re really into the outdoorsy stuff, then there s all kinds of rafting and hiking and things like that right in Boise. It s a prety cool city, but there s nothing really UNIQUE. Maybe you could stop and see a play or something? There s the Shakespeare Festival, which is cool in the summer, or the Morrison Center.You could also take a detour to Sun Valley, but again, it wouldn t be worth it unless you re into the outdoorsy stuff.Then you ll be going through Seattle, but I actually don t know that much about it. I m sure there s plenty to do though.Other than that, really, you ll be going through some pretty minor cities like Pendleton, Twin Falls, Baker City, etc. I personally don t think it gets exciting until you get in the Seattle/Tacoma area.I guess it s all in making it an adventure though, huh?Good luck, should be fun either way!

What is the best way to take money on vacation ? -

I m going on vacation soon and i need to know the best way to take money. I normally take travelers Checks but i m hearing alot of places are no longer takeing them. What about a visa prepaid card. I m taking creditcard but i don t know about the cash

A pre-paid visa gift card is a great idea (i didn t actually read your entire question so that would have been my advice. Also some cash is necessary, for tips, cabs, and small things from possible street vendors? As for the travelers checks most countries and places will have a bank or currency exchange that can exchange them for cash if necessary (perhaps doing research into the places you are planning on traveling?)

I need somewhere for my friends and I to go to for New years in the Washington, DC/ Alexandria, VA area!? -

I have looked and a lot of the unlimited/ open bars are $100+... Are there any that are less than $100? I need a great place to go for new years with some old college friends! Help!

Check out the boomerang party bus, it s a lot of fun. They let you drink on the bus and they take you to a few different places to drink. You pay admission for the bus but you don t have to pay a cover charge at the bars or clubs.

From relocating to Georgia, son states give problem...? -

I posted this question. What do you think ? Unknowingly , my son s Girl Posted and answer and of course she was in favor of us staying here. I know she should stay partial . She can communicate with him via the internet, she can visit with parental guide during breaks and so can he. Thanks to the person who said I will have 2 handcuff him. I will get the authority(involved . Alissa I do not want 2 expose u so u no what 2 do. I should mentioned my son girl has a big influence.on him what should I do concern this matter.

whats their ages ? if their younger than 18 do whats best for your family if their over 18 then say good bye to your son. your the adult its your family you make the call .if need be show him the detention center for incorrigible youths o-yeah don t forget to tell him you love him and you will see him later . good luck

I m kind of confused, but whatever you do should be within the confines of the law, and do what you can in your son s best interest.

So what is your question?If you want my advice tell the GF to take a hike and do whatever is best for the family. She has no say in this situation.

huh? You probably should have posted what the previous question was.

What exactly are you asking? I m lost.

Why am I seeing more out-of-state cars in California? -

In this time of recession?Isn t California more expensive than from where you came?A few years ago it would be rare to see 2 cars with out-of-state plates in one day. Today I would say I saw about 15, and that s probably the average from the past weeks.

A lot of people who would normally go on an international trip are staying in the U.S. and vacationing in the warmer states instead and they re saving money by driving and not flying here as well.

California is a major tourist destination. I have always seen tons of out of states here in the LA area. From the first time I visited here in 1979 to when I moved here in 2001 up to the present, I have always seen that about 1% to 3% of all cars on the road have out of state plates. Arizona, Nevada and Baja California seen to be the most common.

People love to vacation in California. My guess is that you just hadn t noticed before. Also, people move here and don t register their car in California (since it s more expensive). I see out of state plates all day long. It s rather common if you look for it. Especially this time of year, when the snowbirds come into California from colder states.Heck, when my daughter and I go from the Mickey Friends lot at Disneyland to the tram stop, we count the number of out of state plates.

I have been noticing that same thing too!! I m guessing because it s wintertime and these people want to enjoy the sun rather than the snow.The majority I see are Washington plates, but I have seen the following in one week:WashingtonOregonSouth DakotaVirginiaNorth CarolinaSouth CarolinaTexasIowaOhioIllinoisOklahomaUtahNevada

It could be retirees coming to spend the winter or coming early to spend time with the family until Thanksgiving. I know I used to come visit here around the holidays, but be back in time to celebrate with the other part of my family. There s also less than two months for a lot of people to use up vacation time. If it s snowing where they live, CA is certainly much better! :)

I would say most are residents here and are not vacationing. Alot move here from out of state and do not register their vehicles in Califonria to avoid paying the crazy fees.
