Reply to Anne, and differences from Miami to Cary,

Anne, you are very welcome. Cary is really a nice area. The only thing I don't like is the very high state income taxes, 8%, on top of your Federal taxes. Ouch!! Otherwise it's very nice place and the cost of living overall is less than Phoenix or Miami.
As for Miami and what is different here in Cary, NC.. EVERYTHING is different!! The people, the weather, the scenery, the lifestyle, the traffic (or lack thereof).. There is no comparison to Miami or Phoenix here. All three of these locations are unique from one another.
Oddly enough, though I have only just moved out here in Dec., today I received a perm job offer back home with a huge national corporation in Austin, TX. and they matched what I am getting paid here. So I'm heading back home to TX the first of March. Afterall, Austin is ranked as one of the top 10 places to live in the US, low cost of living, no state income tax, in the Texas Hill Country, and is known as the Music Capitol of the World. There is more live music in Austin every day than anyplace else in the country! I have truly missed living there the past few years and I am very happy and excited to finally be going back home.
I wish everyone the best of luck in wherever they decide to go or stay, but there is just something about Texas that makes a Texan long for home..
