I would love to hear more about how you are pulling off this bi-coasting living! I grew up in NorCal wine country, went to UCLA, moved to Grand Cayman back to SF and then for the love of a man to Miami. I know...what in the HELL was I thinking right? Well, that was 8 years ago and since then I have purchased a home with a cottage and stared a company with a partner 4 years ago. I've basically decided since I'm a straight, single, white- american female that I really need to get back to CA before I rot a spinster in the capital of south america - otherwise known as Miami. SO - since I have many friends and family in southern CAL, I've decided I want to relo to a suburb of LA called Belmont Shores in Long Beach. My brother lives there with his wife - they are having a baby - AND JET BLUE flies direct from Fort Lauderdale. Ha - I'm generally in seat 21J! Nice too know I'm not alone in picking the same seat on regular flights. Anyway - my partner is somewhat concerned - hell maybe I am concerned, but I have to make this bi-coastal thing happen. Dilema that makes it most difficult? I have two large Rottweillers and they are simply just part of the family. The plan is I will rent out my home, live my cottage, keep my car here, move my dogs with me into a rental property - easy to get in and out of Long Beach Airport ad FLL - thank GOD for Jet Blue. I have a recruiting firm - so I can work from my home in Long Beach and fly back to Miami every other week when I need to do face to face visits with my partner. The plan is to develop new clients in SoCal. So, I figure I will have to keep TWO homes - mostly worried about finding a home I will enjoy that will allow two sweet Rottweillers. I'm an attractive, responsible, single, educated woman - I would hope SOMEONE would rent to me... SO - gosh I have so many questions...love the advice about the wardrobe - it's so true! Firstly - how do you live? Do you stay in hotels? Have multiple apartments/homes? Any advise on working the JetBlue free ticket deals or booking flights in advance for best rates? Do you have a car in all places, or rent one and write it off? What FEELS like your home base? How do you make it feel like HOME base? Gosh - setting up cable, internet, electiricty in a second home doesn't seem like a huge deal, but it is a massive headache? ANY AND ALL TIPS and Feedback you have for me, keeping my life straight, my business going...would be appreciated. My dream is to stay in SoCal full time and head back to Miami every other week for several days. 8 days in FL the rest in CA unless business needs me. I can be reached at stacy_happy1@hotmail.com if you have feedback. Wow - I’ve been searching on the web for someone like you.
