    Noel, I'll have to side with our forum corespondent from JETT
    Research, our buddy, Tyler Teague, in that New Mexico is quite a
    place.  I moved here from Honolulu, Hawaii about 2 years ago and
    have had a wonderful time enjoying all it has to offer.  Although I
    do miss sailing in my 22 ft sailboat along the coast of Waikiki, I'm
    enjoying  4 seasons (unlike Hawaii's endless summer - sorry Donna),
    snow covered mountains for skiing in the winter and when the snow
    melts, rock climbing and bike trails.  The famous Rio Grande to
    fish, or kayak in as well as dozens of mountain streams to be soon
    depleted of trout by my fly fishing!  Many small and large lakes for
    boating and camping, as well as high altitude (5000 ft or more!) and
    low humidity.  As a native Cajun from Louisiana with an average
    humidity level of  70%, this suites me just fine.  I lived in Hawaii
    in a 2 bedroom, 525 square foot  apartment with the rent of $1475.00
    per month.  I now own a home just north of Albuquerque of 3000
    square foot, 2 car garage, fireplace, 1.87 acres of land, mountain
    and city lights views, central air and heat, 5 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bath
    with Jacuzzi tub and sauna (and also a hobby room that I've
    converted to my jewelry studio).  The mortgage payment is less than
    my rent was in Hawaii!! You decide.......
