Thanks guys for the info on storing the car.

Maintaining a house here while I’m overseas is not an option. so I would have to find some sort of long term storage facility. Denny, no basements here in this part of Texas so that is out as well.

Don, I couldn't agree more on the compensation package. It will have to be extraordinary for this old man to pick up again. Medical coverage is another concern. Texas has always been the home base for this company and I used to move around quite a bit too. The company moved me 9 times between 1983 and 1990 and wife and I had two kids in the process. It was a butt whippin! But it was very lucrative. All these years later and I still don’t make as much money as I did then. We finally moved back here from Los Angeles after a major defense program cancellation in 90' and lo and behold I had been forgotten about. Out of sight out of mind I guess. To make matters worse there had been lots of people let go after the program cancellation and I had no job here. They paid to move me back because it was written in my contract. Luckily the guy that had hired me remembered me and brought me back as a technician level, which was several grades below my previous position. It took me years to get back up to my former pay grade and had to do quite a few more flight tests in the process. Now both the kiddos are grown although one is still in college.

I don't know about the housing issues here and there either and that is a major gotcha as far as I'm concerned as well. I'm thinking right now that they will have to buy my house here and find me another over there before I accept. If they do that I just may go. I don't know maybe its just itchy feet. At any rate its risky business.
