Denali, I'm really happy for you that you're loving Dunedin! I just hope my bf and I will be able to get there . . . period! We were also thinking about NEV . . . if you don't mind, I might pick your brain regarding the area, economy, job market . . . I hope that's not too much of a liberty with you . . .
In regards to weather, I also had lived in the Pacific NW (Seattle), my bf in Michigan, so no, we
don't mind cold weather at all. In fact, it'll be so welcome after living in the desert (Tucson, AZ) which we both despise!
As the Kiwis say, "good on ya!"
Cheers,
Cara
