We moved here from southern CA 11 years ago. It was an adjustment for me....years and years with low dew points, humidity levels and then, dew points extremely high. Grew up in New England with humid summers with no air conditioning and actually lived in CA for many years without it. Now that I'm older, I have the air-conditioner repair company on speed-dial....just in case....
You adjust, in one way or another. Last summer was the worst experienced here. Will this summer be as hot? Don't know, but it's not forever. My husband still plays golf, he'd play golf in the desert in the summer in CA....my friends and I forgo our golf group and do things indoors....movies, lunch, games.
Find that the cost of living here is about the same as in CA....some things cost less, some more....it's sort of a wash for us. Gasoline is so much cheaper...lol. We owned our house in San Marcos for almost 32 years and made a tidy profit, however, not sure I would be willing to spend a small fortune for another house there.
Use the summer, if you're here to take up a new hobby....there are ceramics classes, painting classes, in rec centers. Take classes at the Enrichment Center...go to the movies, there are three wonderful theaters here, attend shows at The SHaron, The Savannah Center. The entertainment is wonderful. SOme take walks early in the morning....actually it's too humid for me but many do. I do miss that almost perfect weather, but we were more inland and the temps could get quite hot. Still remember the day it was 112 in San Marcos, that was brutal.
As Ted Leitner used to say, "It's a dry heat, but so is the heat from an oven and I'm not going to stick my head in it."
Welcome home!
