Well I reckon so, LOL!
When I moved from VA to TN....It took me a couple of weeks to adjust to the accent, and I only moved 2 1/2 hours away!!! But you've got to love it! The nicest people in the world live in TN! And they won't even hesitate to tell you their entire life story the VERY first time you meet them!!! I just smile and nod.
