this is from a presentation at Toastmasters.

• People relocate to other cities for many reasons.  According to Surveybot.com, an average of 11% of Americans in the United States relocate each year.  27% relocate for family reasons and 20% relocate due to employment.
• Whatever the reason, there are 3 phases that you go through to get yourself integrated into your new city.
• Establish the basics.  This means finding the utility company, internet provider, grocery store, library, gas station, post office, find a doctor and dentist.
• If you have kids, you will need to register them and find the bus route.
• You will need to find your route to work.
• You will start unpacking boxes.
• Comfort stage.  You transition to finding the things that make you comfortable or keep you entertained such as the movies, shopping, the nearest home improvement store because the “custom paint job” the realtor bragged about is hideous.
• You will still continue to unpack boxes during this stage as well.  You will also venture around town.
• Settling stage.  You will make your house a home by decorating.
• You will refine your route to work to avoid the horrible rush hour traffic in the morning (I-15).
• You will venture out away from town and see what else the state has to offer, like State and National Parks.
• Moving from place to place can be hard, but as long as you take it one stage at a time, it can be a smooth transition.
