Well I am almost near the point where I take my family to live in the Bay Area (California for some foreigners not in the know).

I finalized the sale of my house about two weeks ago. Got pretty lucky on all fronts, then again I priced to sell as well.

Now everything got packed, loaded on a truck, and the 22 foot truck is on the way driving to California as of last morning. Duy and James were more than kind enough to drive the thing, you guys rock. Their plan is to drive the truck coast to coast in about 3 full days, impressive!

So it’s my last week “living” in New York now. Even less really, as Wednesday I am off to San Francisco on a plane to meet the truck on the other side. Then in a few days I come back, grab my wife and kids, and we’re off to Cali all together. Good times.

If anyone lives or frequents the Bay Area and you see this post, do let me know if you have any favorite places our outings to recommend.

    I have been following your blog for a few months now and you strike me as a a conservative, at least from a business perspective. I hope the Liberal ways of San Fran dont make blood shoot out of your eyes;-)
    Best of luck to you and your family.

    copernicus: thanks for visiting. Actually if anyone cared to read my past blog posts, I did say people seem to be much friendlier there than in NY. At least, so far on the surface.

    I very much hope it is not just on the surface and am looking forward to the new environment. However, I am not sure your comment has a very welcoming tone :)
