tips for what bud?

If you have a lot to move I suggest getting a uhaul type of truck.. or you could always ship it (but pricey)

Try to pack it in the car and road trip that shit puff_>>

I got two kids and don't think I could handle that long of a road trip. The farthest I've been with them in the car is new York.

I guess I'm just looking for some advice that's all.

I guess hire movers to take your stuff ( wont be cheap).. then y'all take a flight out.

Other than that it is obviously going to be a big move and trek either way. GL with everything bro <><>

Hope you have a huge reason to move to LA. Everything I hear about it is bad. Taxes, dirty, illegal mexicans and a horrible mayor. I do listen to Adam Carolla everyday and to be honest that is where most of my opinion comes from.

Pretty much, I was just looking for any input from someone who has made a big move. Just trying to cover all angles. I guess I'm just nervous and anxious that's all.

Nah, not really. I grew up in Wheaton ( 4 corners) lived in Kensington for about 3 years. I currently live right off Tuckerman by old Georgetown road.

Where in LA you moving to? How old are your kids? What HS will they be attending. Hopefully your kids aren't in LAUSD.

i grew up near friendship heights and live in LA now....very different places

where in LA is the most important question?

i was a public school kid and never considered sending my kids to private school but LA is a different world from Bethesda man! i love it...surf is much better that's for sure!

Spent a lot of time in LA, but never actually lived there for more than 6 months. I always liked the Silver Lake area.

LAMatty · Feb 26, 2013

lived in LA (harbor area) till i was 25 before i moved out to costa rica. depends on the area you will be for the schooling. highly recommend looking into a private school for your kids if they will be in LAUSD school area. good luck with the move and enjoy that mexican food if you like it.

Right now I'm looking for an apartment closest to Beverly hills, there is no way I can afford a house out there.
