My niece's husband (marine sniper) recently deployed to Afhganistan. She loves the CA weather but since she hasn't the proverbial snowballs chance of getting a job as a teacher in CA. (she has 10 years experience and a masters degree, so she is moving back to TX - has her pick of several positions here).
When pricing U-Hauls we found this of interest:
26' truck
Oceanside -> Dallas area $1900
Dallas -> Oceanside $700
17' truck
Oceanside -> Dallas $1200
Dallas -> Oceanside $600
Appears a lot more people are moving from California than to California..
I told her the same thing I told my daughter when she moved from Dana Point to Houston: just remember that you are moving from weather heaven to weather hell...
