Mako,
I made the decision in 1988, jobs were absolutely scarce in southeast La. I went in the military, spent 10 years in, became a dad, became a single dad, got remarried and 3 total kids later and been living in northeast Fl for the past 16 years. I miss our culture and way of life now more than ever. We take our family, even though the kids are grown and we even have some grand kids also, back home every chance we get. We rent a camp in Cocodrie for a week tor this coming year it may be Grand Isle. The move will make you more self reliant and a tighter family. I drive the 9 hours west as often as I can and as much as I hate the drive I cannot wait to get HOME. It is a lifestyle and culture that cannot be had anywhere else in my opinion. I truly wish you the best of luck in your new opportunity and stay positive my friend!
