Whee, sounds like an adventure!

I'm in a similar sort of situation right now, semi-quasi-retired (or as I like to call it, on sabbatical, duration unknown ). At this point DH, who is also unemployed, and I are weighing our options.

We had just started discussing the possibility of packing up and moving from the immediate SF Bay Area to a bit outside of the area. Then, a few days ago, a couple of really interesting job opportunities fell out of the sky and into my lap. I'm going to go on a first interview for one of them today. Funny what happens when you're not actively job hunting, it's like the job gods want to mess with you ...

So, we might put the relocation plans on hold for the time being. Although, my line of work is good for telecommuting, so who knows. If I do get a job, I have an exit day already picked out -- four years from tomorrow. Or, perhaps even Jan 1, 2014.

Hope your new adventure works out well, smilingcat.
