I've lived in San Diego County for over 20 years, and for all but the first year, have lived more than 10 miles from the ocean. When I moved to So Cal, I figured it was all blue water and sandy beaches. Yet for me it turned out to be business, lots of driving and finding affordable communities with good schools.
My youngest turned 18 this month and will graduate in June. As for me, I'm divorced and have taken a new position in Sorrento Valley. So I determined it was time to quit living in the outback, and to finally move towards the Pacific.
Where once, the only fear I had was one of inaction, now change comes a bit harder. So for the last month I have been scanning Craig's List and the web for affordable living on the water. Affordable is a relative term I know, but its what I'm using for the time being. Over the weekend I looked at 5 different places, and one twice to make certain I really liked it. It would be nice if the complex had a tennis court, but I decided it wasn't a deal killer. So I made an offer.
Low and behold, after a bit of negotiating it was accepted and I signed a year lease today on a condo in Solana Beach. Move in date is not until April 8th, but I though if I was going to chronicle the year correctly then I should commence at the beginning.
