All of our best friends have second homes -- Scottsdale -- Palm Springs -- Tucson -- Montana -- Sun Valley... etc. ALL of them have been pushing THEIR location as where WE should buy a place. Obviously these are all nice places to have a second home when you live in Poopieville Seattle. The problem is -- they weren't where WE wanted to be. We said this a 1000 times... WE will buy something when WE figure it out. And that means -- WE will jump on a place once there is someplace that we absolutely know is "right" for US.

My point is -- when you don't have a motor -- and there are a billion OPTIONS out there... and everyone has an opinion on what is best. Take your time, just like you're doing now, and you'll eventually come up with what is best for your build.

When you close your eyes and you "see" your car... what is it that you see? Not asking you to explain it -- just saying that you might keep coming back to a particular vision. When you figure that out.... That's what you should go with.

WE ended up with a place in Sun Valley... and neither of us would have figured that out until we accidentally saw a place that turned us both on... and we realized that I love to ski and she loves to bike and hike... and we both love at least two seasons over there. DONE. Once that happened it was super easy and we're excited about it. Until then - we could have cared less.

Well said Greg.
