Moving from Rochester NY to Charlotte NC?

best family tents for camping 2011 image

CANâT AFFORD TO FAIL

I currently live between Rochester and Syracuse NY just South of Lake Ontario. I live in the house I grew up in. I left only to serve in the Marine Corps and was stationed in CA & Hawaii. I enjoy driving the back roads to and from the established surrounding towns observing property, farms and the overall scenery. I have a wife and (3) boy ages 13, 12 & 10. On what seems to be very little income we enjoy boating in our 1976, 21' Penn Yan, tent camping, healthy eating, country living, Levis jeans and good shoes. We may go into the city as a family or just my wife and I, to shop and eat once every couple of months. I have enjoyed a Jewish Community Center gym membership which provided spa amenities after a day of work, prior to heading home to the country. The boys play baseball, basketball, soccer and the Xbox all day, if they had it their way. They're going to need jobs soon. We will soon need to replace our 1999 Chevy P/U and 2006 Ford Focus. My home and rental properties are in need of upgrades (including many others in upstate NY rural communities) which I cannot afford or find anyone to pay the rent consistently due to the demographics.

I have commuted to Rochester NY (45-60 min.'s) for 30 yrs. to work in the machining trades as a Mfg. Eng., a CNC Programmer, a CNC Machinist and a Toolmaker. In addition, I have been working on my BS at the Rochester Institute of Technology and was a full-time student from 2009 to 2011 at a less expensive community college. I am currently employed and my base salary has not changed since the late 1980's. My wife has re-entered the workforce after being unemployed for a year. She is building circuit boards for less money at the same company she worked at 13 yrs. ago and is a temporary employee, to boot.

I have considered moving and initially began seeking opportunities in the Pacific North West only to be humiliated by engineering and hiring managers who have questioned my abilities. I felt as though they wanted a specialist at a specific task rather that someone who was a competent, career orientated individual who isnât easily overwhelmed. After a few months, with hesitation due to the many comments I've heard and read, I began to focus on NC, as many NY'ers seem to have done.

It's been a couple of months now that I have been actively applying to positions in NC. The employment agencies are thrilled with my experience and are eager to send off my resume to the hiring managers. After they submit it, I hear nothing in return from either of them.

Recently a NE recruiting agency had contacted me regarding a position for a prominent company in NC which has exhausted their efforts in recruiting (60) local people. They are now looking in the North East for experienced candidates. I may be offered a position soon and will be required to begin work on June 1st, 2013. The position is about 1/2 hr. SE of Charlotte NC and would pay about 25% more or about what I make by working 55 hrs./wk if and when the OT is offered. I would be forfeiting the cash flow which my rentals create and the income tax return each year.

I'm not sure it's worth the risk.

Answer
It might be worth taking. It is a lovely area down there. You won't deal with much snow. Real estate and cost of living are a lot less. Most people are very friendly too. Take a ride there and do a little exploring.

check my grammar please. my exam is around the corner...?

Dear Uncle Muller,
Hi! How are you and your family ? I hope all of you and your family are well. Everyone here is in the pink of health. I am writing this letter to invite you, Aunt Mary and your children, Nicole and Jane to join us in a camping trip for the coming holidays.
Last week , we were passed by a place that would be a prefect campsite for the camping trip. So, it is in Taman Kawang that is in Papar. The place is not far from your house . It took about one and half an hour to reach there. The campsite is located near a town .We can take a bus ride and took only 20 minute to go to the town. There is a mini market also located in the town. This would be easier for us to buy things if thereâs any shortage of supplies.
The place for the campsite was very perfect. It was very clean and thereâs no rubbish seen along the place. Many greenery tree planted there and makes the place shady and cool with fresh air. It is also a peaceful place where thereâs no sound of noisy to be hear at there. The place is also safe with park rangers that on duty to help us . So, you and Aunt Mary do not need to worry about the childrensâ safety.
It is also equipped with a good and modern facilties. There is a tent for rent. It would cost cheaper if we rent for tent at there. So, we do not need to buy a tent for the camping trip. There is also a wonderful childrenâs playground. The children would most probably enjoy the playground and play until they tired. Toilets and shower rooms also is equipped at there.This would not be a problem to us as they has much facilities at the park.
Last but not least , there are some activities that we can do at the place. We can do trekking in the morning and swimming in the afternoon. It might be an enjoy experience as all of us can see the nature of this place. In the evening, we can do some interesting activities. Such as barbecue and games . Mother has a new recipe that she got from internet for the barbecued lamb. Itâs very delicious and tasty. Nicole and I can bring along with our Uno games to be played at there. We would compete each other to win the game.
Well, I have to stop now. Send my regards to Aunt Mary and your children. Thatâs all for now. Bye!
Your niece,
Serra
