Anyone have any advice/experience for pulling yourself away from sunny California to the East Coast? It was only recently that I realized it would be a huge change (I’m expecting “That’s okay, she’s from California” to explain any initial adjustment weirdness.)

One thing that I’m hung up over is the weather. My wardrobe is mostly light shirts and flip flops with a seasonal adjustment of switching from short pants to long pants. 60F is cold and I’ve never lived somewhere with snow (in fact, I’m very bad at not falling over in snow). Since MA is not Siberia, I’m thinking it’s not that big of a deal. At least not reason enough to not go at all.

Another thing I was wondering about is the travel. Are there anyways to work the system to make flying easier/cheaper?
