Boss finally gave me a firm date today after we interviewed a scorching hottie to take my place here. I will be working from home, so I don't need to be near anything. Wife hasn't found a job there yet and I don't want her to have a tough commute. She got her employment authorization document (EAD) last week, so now she can work anywhere without an H1 sponsor. FWIW, this immigration process really hasn't been all that bad. Something like 70 days from filing to getting the EAD in the mail. Anyway, I have no idea where I want to live. All I know is I want some space, not too much traffic and would prefer whichever area is a few degrees cooler than the rest of the area. Believe me, traffic in Phoenix is nothing compared to what we have here, so what you may consider bad, I probably consider to be nothing. I'm guessing I will need to travel a lot, and so maybe not too far from the airport. I will want to shoot a lot, so maybe not too far from Ben Avery Range. And I'll want to be able to make a quick escape from the city to go riding out in the desert. Ideal would be for the wife to telecommute too, but that's a wild card now. Where should I look? I hope to come out in 3-4 weeks to start scouting.
