The company is picking up the tab.

There are lots of things we like about the SW (especially Arizona). My wife loves to go out to the Navajo reservation. We have friends that live there. And of course there is the amazing SW Utah area. We also really like Tucson. We also like the 14ers of Colorado. And the are some interesting places right here in NM.

But to live close to all those NW rivers, be 70 minutes from the Pacific ocean and 2.5 hours from the Puget Sound. I'm ready for it. The Nearest large reservoir to us (beyond Cochiti) is a good 2.5 hours. My wife also wants to be closer to relatives. We must have spent over $2000 on air fare last year flying to various locations.

Plus a promotion! So it's a big win win for us. We'll be out this way again once the boys are older.
