Relocation Forums?
Does anyone know of a forum or two where you can discuss the ins and outs of relocating to another city? I'm interested due to a job transfer.

Another cat? Perhaps. For love there is also a season; its seeds must be resown. But a family cat is not replaceable like a wornout coat or a set of tires. Each new kitten becomes its own cat, and none is repeated. I am four cats old, measuring out my life in friends that have succeeded but not replaced one another.--Irving Townsend

You might try right here. Many of us have relocated due to job changes, within companies and between companies.

Well, I'm certainly open to suggestions or advice. We will be transferring from Little Rock to Jacksonville, FL. The company is providing some monetary assistance, and a relocation company, but it appears that financially, we are better off doing it ourselves (with the $ provided by the company).
If anyone knows anything about Jacksonville, I'd love to see it. Advice on moving companies, realtors, mortgages are all appreciated.

I haven't been in a while (family had a summer home in Jacksonville, Bch) but I remember that the city had a pretty foul odor from the paper mills around town. The beaches are OK but nothing like Daytona or any of the beach towns further south. Fernandina is pretty nice and it's just north of the city. And St. Augustine, which is really pretty, is about 30 minutes south.
There are a lot of naval personnel due to the bases nearby.
The St. John's River is really wide.
That's all I can think of at the moment. |

Would that company be reloAction?

I thought the same thing. But it's tough moving. Really tough. We also moved from our apartment to a house across town two years ago. This time we hired a company to move the big stuff. It was MUCH easier. If I had it to do again, I'd hire someone.

Yes, former AIS employee on the programming side and my wife on the marketing support side.
The company offered is Cendant.
When I said do it ourselves, what I really meant to say is make arrangments ourselves. We will definitely hire movers.
Are you with Fidelity now or have you moved on to something else?

My old deptartment wasn't bought out. They are still AIS.
I left four years ago for International Paper. My department was then sold to Exult and Exult was recently purchased by Hewitt.
I asked about reloAction because Exult purchased them a few months ago. From what I've read, they are a one-stop shop for all things relocation related.

Kenneth, thanks for the info. Robert, its gets a little tiring, all these companies buying companies. I know what it feels like.
