Same!

Yeah this video is great, but CA literally has it all. Beaches, mountains, forests, deserts, amusement parks, etc. Plus the amazing weather. I’ve lived all over and will continue to do so for work, but nothing beats California!

I'm moving OUT of Cali, where I was born and raised. Liberal soy boy politics, self absorbed narcissistic people, mask wearing, non critical thinkers - DONE! Pretty scenery is NO comparison to that nonsense!!

Same for me I moved to Virginia from California but have decided to move back to Cali since ALL my family is there and while I loved VA I really miss my family.

This is your sign. Do it! ❤

So only daily rate u mean?!

I feel you! It costs us $4,000 just to pay the movers to move us 600 miles. And this was a shadey moving company that cut corners so we could hire them "so cheap". It was at leat $8,000 total once we accounted for deposits, gas, fees, etc. We had to take out a loan Now we're doing it again, but trying to do it ourselves this time. And NEVER moving out of town again!!!

I STAY IN ARIZONA YOU GONE LOVE IT

Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any help you can give me

OMG . Talk about going from the frying pan into the fire. 😎

I hope you moved to CO & love it

ARIZONA IS NICE

Me too, LOL! 2023 is the year for us!:-)

Louisiana?

This is the kindest comment anyone has ever left! thank YOU!

Oh, no problem!

Vet tech here! Get them some sedatives, you can ask for gabapentin,trazadone and a couple more. Try it out at home first and see how they do. If good, give 12 hours before your move and 1-2 hours before you start driving. It will keep them calm, just keep some water and wet food nearby, to stop and offer. It helps them with their anxiety and you as well as you know they are comfortable!🤍

@@gabrielagutierrez6084 thank you SO much!!! very helpful. I will do

Ahh girl it's going to be okay! I love your courage! As for me, I have done it all. Typically, I havent been able to visit before I arrive for work, so to find somewhere to live, I've messaged people on Roommates.com, I have found places on Craigslist before, I have found apartments on apartments.com...anything you can think of I've probably tried it (I've moved around quite a bit). Do you have a job lined up out there? If you do, try contacting the HR department and ask for recommendations on where affordable/safe places to live are! And do a lot of research on google, if you don't get to see it before you arrive!

@@diligenthandsfinance8326 I have actually visited a few times to the area I want to move. I'm currently working on getting a job out there and I suppose next step is housing. I was looking to move into an actual house but I think an apartment is easier when you haven't seen it etc.

I’m in the same boat girl...I’m moving to VA in April and don’t have any family or friends there. It’s kinda scary but I’m excited about starting this new journey. Good luck with your move!

There's a reason for everything and moves are one of them. If I had listened to my intuition years ago I'd be happily settled in the Verde Valley AZ instead of following my insane (literally) ex husband. I am now planning on going back to my home state by myself no pets nothing and I can't wait. Don't be afraid. You may meet some people that are pivotal in your journey-they help you with employment opportunities, introduce you to social groups and activities. If you're not meant to be somewhere-thats where I'm at now-everything is a struggle and seems to go wrong no matter what you do. That means it's time to go. Like I said don't be afraid. Things will get better and good luck to you!!

Agreed! You’re not alone! I’ve heard of people going through facebook groups to find housing as well. It’s definitely different when you don’t know anyone where you are going.

I know how intimidating it is to drive your own truck that far, don't feel bad! Also, I'm from CA too. I know how hard it is to feel settled anywhere else. This sounds a little snobby, but hey, when you grow up in paradise, nothing feels the same. :) Best of luck to you!

@@diligenthandsfinance8326 lol that’s very true! California has it’s downsides, but it really is so beautiful & amazing! Thank you for the reply ☺️

do you have a relative that will drive it..? and you fly them back home? lol

@@1snakemanvrod lol that’s not a bad idea! But unfortunately I didn’t have a relative where I was living in NJ so that wouldn’t have worked... All my relatives are back West. I completed the move a few weeks ago, so it’s all done now, I’m back in LA! Yay! 😊

@@tiffanychantelmusic I am looking at moving from CA to back east. I’ve considered PODS for the same reason you did. :) How was your experience with them? We’re things broken?? I’ve read both good and bad reviews on them.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be afraid about driving over the grapevine. I recently drove a moving truck from AZ to CA by myself, up the 8 freeway near Mt. Laguna in San Diego County. Those are some super steep and winding mountain roads. If you take it slow (45-50 mph) and stay in the right lane, you will be just fine :) I also wouldn’t be worried about leaving possessions in the truck overnight at a hotel. If you park it in a well lit area in sight of the hotel, and put a solid lock on the back door, you should be fine. I also did this myself too, and had no issues.

Also, instead of using Uhaul, maybe consider using Penske through Home Depot. You get unlimited miles!

@@diligenthandsfinance8326 If there are any fences close to parking spots, back in if you can, so door/lock are not as easy to access. See if you can park where you can look out and see truck?

@@birdlady2725 Great idea about the fence!!

Huh? The Grapevine is just a stretch of freeway. The problem is Washington. It's a liberal toilet, just like the State you're fleeing.

When I've moved and needed to find a new doctor or dentist, I've always looked at google reviews to find the top rated/reviewed providers in my neighborhood or city. Then, I'll go to my insurer's website and see which of them are covered providers under my insurance policy. This has worked for me :)

Ask around for recommendations. Ask many people who you meet during regular errands, such as at the grocery store. Also, you can make an appointment with a doctor or dentist for a consultation, which is usually free. You spend 10 to 15 minutes with them to check out their vibes and ask them about their practice and methods of treatment. You get a good sense of who they are, and how they'd fit with you, and they get free advertising for only 10 minutes of their time. If you don't go to them, you might suggest them to someone else. Everyone wins.

I just got a quote from U pack 2k for Seattle to Scottsdale. I would rather drive my car than a uhaul and I don’t want to tow a trailer. What other options are there.

A move that long you'd be better off just using a Relocube from ABF. It'd be about the same price.

Liar

Pretty much any truck rental service will let you return to a different location, if your trip is one way! :)

@@diligenthandsfinance8326 Great, thank you for the help!

In-town or local moves (within the state's borders) can be rented and returned at the same location. OR, you make a one way reservation with the moving truck company, let's say San Francisco, CA to Denver, CO. The company suggests several drop-off places close to Denver, such as Englewood, Lakewood, or Wheatridge. If you drop the truck off in, for example, Colorado Springs, (an hour south of Denver), you probably will have to have a good reason for doing that (instead of dropping it off in Denver), or you may be allowed the extra miles (depending on who is working that day), or you may have to pay a drop-off fee for not dropping it off in Denver as planned. The truck company expects customers to return a truck where the contract says it will be returned. That way they know if they'll have that truck to rent to another customer. If you don't show up as planned, then the truck company probably won't have a truck there to fulfill the next reservation for that size truck.

@@zwebwench Thank you, I appreciate your help!! (:

English, please.

Yes!

Oof... did you find a cheaper alternative?

@@dmatthews077 no, not yet. I've looked at options of purchasing a suv and renting some of the ubaul cargo trailers or freight shipping. Still moving.companies and pods are up there in price as well

@@JuicyFashion11 it's crazy, for 4700 you could probably purchase an old box truck.. I've even considered that.

@@dmatthews077 IKR a lot of options. If I would of known that this would have been the issue I would of done a future reservation and just kept changing the date

What are you talking about? There's no smog in California. You can grow food year-round in Florida too. California is death. Why do you think everyone is leaving?

@@joevarga5982 you have your opinion and I have mine. Have a blessed day!

@@cassball7 I see you're not a thinking person.

@@joevarga5982 you have a problem sir. Don’t bother me again! Enjoy Florida

@@cassball7 STOP harassing me!
