My wife and I may be relocating to the Orlando area so that I can start a new job. She currently has a great job (start of long career) as a system analyst at a top-notch company. She earns more money than I do, and probably always will. This year she gets 4 weeks of vacation. She is concerned that if we move to Orlando she will not find a job she likes for the same pay and with the same benefits (e.g. vacation). I had been told (once upon a time) that if you move to another company, you move up in pay, not down. What is the more likely scenario? [more inside]

I am going to Miami / Disney World in February with my lovely wife and parents, their treat. M.L.W. and I are thinking of getting tickets to Cirque du Soleil's "La Nouba" show as a way of saying thank you. Has anybody seen the show? Did it turn your life around? Was it worth the entry price? Is there some other, much more awesome show/comparable-activity in the Orlando (or even Miami) area we shoud take in instead?
