This weekend, i'm looking for a place to live down in Texas. It's hot here. That's probably the most crucial thing to say at this point. Although the weather people call ithumid, and I can feel humidity in the air to a degree, it's not like the DC area. oh, no. Down here near the gulf, it's much drier, at least at this point. My hair usually takes hours to dry. It was dry in an hour and up in a ponytail at that.
Nick isn't crazy about the heat, but he's having a great time. People seem to love dogs, esp. the children. I feel like the Pied Piper sometimes. But that's okay; I like kids. They are more of a distraction for Nick than are pet dogs.
People seem to live from one air conditioned building to another.
House-hunting? Well, not so easy. Lots of things to factor in--transportation, walkability, space, neighborhood...
We found one place and have looked at others. We have others to look at today.
It's a great help having my sister-in-law along. She's driving...
Oh, yes, to get a car with a GPS system in it, we had to rent a large car. A Grand marquis or something. It's an ocean liner of a car, but rides nice, isn't too bad on gas, and is pretty good with the GPS.
Life will be different than in a major metropolitan area, but we'll make due.

Good luck on the house hunt. It's a very stressful thing.
If you have ever been or lived in NJ in the summer, you'd know humid
I live in the south and it is humid so hot. But if you have a good AC you can just stay inside, but the storms in Texas are bad or they seem to be from the news. but hope you find a nice home and have good neighbors.
May God bless
