Locations - Plan B

These are more considerations in case there is a problem with immigration. If for some reason Canada was unattainable, it would be nice to live close by so we could at least travel there frequently. Michigan and New York are the closest states to the area we want to be in, and I apologize in advance to any, uh, Michiganians? Michiganis? ...but we are not interested in living there.

I've read that Ithaca, NY is very gay-friendly and sounds like a nice place to live. It's around 4-5 hours' drive to the border. Also (and I'd have to check on the details of it's job market and such), Buffalo, NY is just this side of the border and I've read that it and Syracuse have a decent IT job market. One thing we can vouch for after driving and taking the train through upstate NY is that there's no denying it's gorgeous. This could be a very pleasant alternative.

In other news, it looks like getting the RV washed up would be about $60+, or a wash with a long-overdue wax job would be about $150-250. Ouch, but I'll bet you're liable to lose a lot more than that trying to sell it dirty, as people will assume it's been neglected and be willing to part with much less $.
