Relocation: An opportunity for a major life change and carefully planned event, or a recipe for disaster?

There could be many reasons for a relocation: a new job, retirement, need for a change... My family and I had our roots deeply planted in Miami, FL and for over 30 years that is where we called home. But something began to chnage in the months preceeding our departure, I had a sense that I belonged somewhere else, but did not know where. My husband was very content and was happy just to stay put. And then... A last minute trip to the Carolinas changed our lives forever.

What was supposed to be a 3-day real estate shopping vacation turned into a 7-day 'what are we doing' trip. By the time we hopped on our return flight to MIA, we had put an offer on a house and Tony, my husband, had a job lined up. How would we break the news to our family was the discussion on the way home. They say that parents are one step ahead.. and boy was that true. They knew it before we said anything! And they were happy. HUH?

So long story short: we moved and we loved it... and love it more everyday. *NOTE* Our story was the unplanned version of a relocation which, after much thought (years after) could have been the recipe for disaster. Moving to a place we knew nothing of could have been scary and just plain wrong, but... it seemed it was destiny. And we have been blessed.

BUT, I do not plan our course of action for the faint of hear... actually I do not recommend it to anyone. Plan, research and work with a professional: that is where I come in.
