As long as the guy stays off Bloodydecks.com he has some chance at a productive future :D

It's good to see you are taking your future seriously. Have you ever been out here before? Based on past experiances I highly suggest you make a few short trips out here to see how life is before you make the big move. Getting information from this, or any other, site is a good start but don't make your plans based on what you read. You may get some good input but it may not be what you are suited for (financially or socially). I would love to live in La Jolla within walking distance to the launch. Can I afford it? No way.
Make a few trips out (you have the time) to check out the area and try some Kayaks (I read your other post) while your at it.

well i dont know any of the areas around there that whould be cheaper as long as i can drive there in a day with my yak id be fine i dont have to live at lajolla lol ive never ben out there no everything i know about over there is from my freind ronna and siebler and this site lol
