I was born and raised in Lewis Delaware and spent ALL my summers as kid at Cape Henolopen.When you're born and raised right at the ocean you spend your whole life(or at least I do) trying to get back. Delaware has all of 3 Counties and I LOVE the place, it's home and I miss it !I loved swimming in the ocean until that ****ED "JAWS" came out when I was a kid !

I spent fifty of my years just a bit north of you in Salem County, NJ. I understand the culture shock you are experiencing. The wife and I moved to Fort Oglethorpe, GA (just south of Chattanooga, TN) a short while back. The culture shock is substantial, but not something to worry about.
I miss the cheesesteaks, subs, pizzas and instant service at our wonderful Department of Motor Vehicles the most. Of course, I miss my friends and what little family I left there. Frankly, the milder winters are a good reason to stay where I am. Also, for bike riding, there is lots of new territory to explore here, other than the bland swamps of the Delaware Valley.
I hope that you and the wife are happy wherever you go.
