Moving Dwagons Update/Recap:We had a good Turkey Day with dad; while we were catching our breath in a decent hotel in Queens, we did a bunch of online research into places to start over within a couple hours in case he needs us.
We liked some of the prices around Jersey City, and some of the schools around New Rochelle and Scarsdale but ultimately we settled on Hartford CT and surrounds as the schools are rated highly for students and teachers, they are paying well especially now, and have low student to teacher ratios with highly rated autism programs.
While crime rates are a bit high in certain areas, there are a lot of the surrounding areas that are safe and reasonable rents on a whole house, which is what we need to be looking at for our family needs and if dad has to join us anytime soon.
We literally just touched down in a Holiday Inn in Newington, CT
(That's it in the background; these pix are from the parking lot of a Army/Navy store next door) and we've already looked at 3 awesome properties and Beth's phone has been ringing off the hook for job interviews on Zoom, several with multiple principals and admins at the same time. She has 5 interviews today alone!
It's all a bit of a whirlwind right now... Hopefully things will slow down soon enough for us to think about 🎄 Christmas.
Cheers,
mnem
