So enjoy your process, it will most likely be a process that you will not share with most everyone weighing in here, and do not be in any rush... enjoy the heck out of the exploration...and I advise anyone to explore the heck out of this place before deciding on a spot...
Wise words. My wife and I are at the point now where, we have done as much as we can do from here. Realtors, books, forums, websites etc.. We have changed our idea of area to and from aand back again. Realizing that, you can't possibly know until you are there and have explored enough.
