If we end up in Germany, I like some parts of Frankfurt and Munich, and the Hannover area is growing on me.

For example, I grew up about 40 minutes north of Seattle in Arlington and the housing prices are better there than in a lot of the state. It is the same in a lot of the smaller towns.

Originally Posted By mater4 I would stay away from California. The insurance,taxes and registering a car is expensive. My DH wants to move to Zionsville,Indiana. I live in Northern Nv. and it is not too bad. Being close to Tahoe is nice especially since you like to ski. Disneyland is an 8 hour drive.

Originally Posted By mater4 WDWdreamin I know what you mean about snow. I lived in Truckee long enough to get my share of it.

We can always visit Truckee/Tahoe if we have the desire to go play in the snow.
