Jens, -27C with the wind chill factor will make you change your mind about anywhere else being too damn hot. My parents are thinking about possibly retiring to the tampa area.. so it may work out in more than one way. Plus the gulf coast is supposedly much milder in regards to humidity, etc.. but we shall see

In regards to going to Norway/Germany/Austria in May, I have a few issues that I am trying to work out.. I will let you know come March...

Thanks Marc! When I talked to the chief guy I realized the job is in the bag for me... guy was cursing up a storm (he's from Philly). Hillarious! I just need to check out the benefits and see if Tampa is a good place for me....
