For what it's worth, we're going to be out of town the second half of July. I don't think we can have a house-guest who is a dog, but if one or both of you wanted to come out (sans dog) and do some househunting and stay here for free and have unlimited use of a car/kitchen/etc., so long as you feed and water and play with the cats, water 2 plants, and bring in mail, that could work out great for everyone :).
Craigslist should give you an idea of housing prices. I'm not sure how fast it is to find a place nowadays.
No idea about the hair. It's lovely and thick so I'd say don't cut it all off, but that's my bias.
Thanks! It looks like it will just be me coming out for house-hunting, actually, to save expenses, and I'd be delighted to house-sit in exchange for crash space if that timing works out.
Cool, that could work out great. By the way, stuff I've forgotten: --They may allow dogs in our complex--not for us because of our lease, but others. --Our rent has gone up a lot every year but it's in part because we keep not doing 1 year leases. It's a pretty well located, well maintained complex, and pretty affordable too. (I am not saying this because we'd get a bonus if you moved in, though it'd be AWESOME if you were in the complex). --Something more important that you probably/may already know: buy your car after you get to CA. If you buy it right before, CA levies CA taxes on it *anyway*. Big pain, since cars are often cheaper outside the state.
