[QUOTE=Trekhawk;134770Each time we move with my husbands job I suffer from the old OH MY GOD THIS PLACE SUCKS and lots of that is because its just different and the fact that I dont know anyone to start with doesnt help. Now I know that I will experience that feeling each time we move Im ready for it. It can sometimes take a good year or two before you start feeling comfortable in a place and start to make good friends. Give yourself a bit of time and really try hard to look at all the positives about your new place like CyclChyk said.

Good advice Trekhawk. Moving is really hard. Just know you have a fellow biker in Canberra when you get here. More than happy to help you settle in

I agree with the other posters - any move is troubling at first and always stressful. It takes longer than you expect to adjuts - even if you really wanted to move. But remember that there was a reason you wanted to go. It's easy to remember the things you liked about CO (and I'm sure there were many), but something there made you want to explore other options.

give yourself some time and see how you feel in a year or two. I'm sure as you get settled and have more time to relax and enjoy the new location you'll start to feel better. If not, then you can have the fun of figuring out where to next.

Where are you in upstate NY????

I'll agree with everybody else here. It easy to second guess and beat yourself up, but no one has invented a time machine yet, so they only way you can go is forward. I've been 5 places in 10 years, and have been in LA for about 2. I still think , maybe I shouldn't have moved , but always remind myself that I didn't have a job there, either, and It doesn't help not to able to do the things you love.
