Moving to Playa Resources

**denisea** · 05-14-2005

Since so many of us seem to have a dream of moving to Playa someday and because we also get lots of newbies at least inquiring about moving to Playa, I thought it might be helpful to have a central place where we could share links to useful info. Hence this thread. I'll continue to add any info I have in my files as time permits. I'll also add any new info I uncover. Hopefully others will share their resources as well. The goal being to have a repository of "everything you need to know about moving to Playa but were afraid to ask (or too lazy to look up for yourself)."

I just happen to be one those "newbies"!! Thanks for the sites. Excuse my ignorance, but could someone explain a "sticky" to me? I don't remember seeing that on the playainfo. Did I miss it? Again the playainfo website is great!

**denisea** · 07-14-2005

A "sticky" is a thread that appears at the before all other threads in a forum. It will actually say "sticky" at the beginning of the title. I had made this a "sticky"... however, King James decided that he would rather it not be a "sticky" so it was "unstuck" and is now just a regular thread.

7 weeks after we started our move and 3 weeks after we arrived, we now know a few very important things. #1 we had way to much information #2 the 2 most important things you need, a sense of humor and patience, patience, and more patience
