The relaxed casual aspect is perfect For pure networking!

I do the same thing with work presentations and it’s amazing how smooth and relaxed the conversation becomes with some practice.

But remember this is fully furnished, so I know my current prices are too low, given the quality of the apartment and seriously excellent and relaxing location in Manchester that is not a complex and has a large backyard.

I want to provide a way for my father and mother to finally relax.

I've been around houses/building/construction my entire life and a weekend of painting and polishing floors sounds relaxing to me. 

I've been working so hard, I haven't taken time to relax. 

So I'd stay informed but relax and enjoy the awesome San Diego weather until you move to NC.

If they have them in your area, sometimes the smaller subgroups of REIA may be a better fit starting out since it's usually a more informal and relaxed climate, so it's easier to get to know people.
