Just thought I'd give y'all an update on my move to FL. Thanks to all of ya who have given me advice and info on job opportunities down there!

I had a few phone interviews with a company in Venice and they want me to come down for an interview. I'm gonna set the interview up for sometime during the next couple weeks. If that all works out then I might be moving to the Venice/Port Charlotte area. I've got my fingers crossed!

Also, my current company is deciding on whether or not to let me become a regional sales manager and which would allow me to work out of my house. That position would allow me to live wherever I want (within reason). They will be giving me a definite answer next week sometime before the 20th. It is a long-shot, but if they allow me to do this, then we'll move to the Fort Myers/Cape Coral area. So, in either case, I should know my fate within the next two weeks.

Do you guys have any thoughts or advice regarding Port Charlotte area vs. the Fort Myers area??? I think we'd rather be further south which is why we are picking the Fort Myers area (if we can live wherever we want), but I haven't really been to either place. I have checked both areas on-line and both look very nice.

I think I'd rather have the new job at the new company, but if that doesn't work out then the regional sales thing would work fine.

I'm a bit partial to the Destin area, having been here for 16 years. Most of my family is around Waterbury but I bailed on the cold weather years ago!

I'm sure that you're familiar with Eglin AFB and all of it's R&D so opportunities for an Chemical Engineer might be worth while.

Port Charlotte all the way. We just finished a job where we were there for about a month. Nice area and you can still buy a house on the water without winning the lottery. Traffic isn't nearly as bad in Pt Charlotte as Ft Myers.
