Hello Doydie and Cherie,
Thank you for your replies. My husband has been to Atlanta on business but has never seen more than the airport and the plant where his office is located. It would be closer to his family down here, but I do pine for the Boston area as I lived in NYC when I first came over to the states. I've never seen Chicago, but we continue to hear great things about it.

We will be looking for a home in a family type neighborhood as we hope to have children in the near future. We've been assigned a relocation specialist from my husband's office who has been working with us this past week. The price of housing in the Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago areas is just shocking.

I shall keep you all posted on our progress.

All the best,
Chris
