We are back in town now. We found a place in Palo Alto.
For those considering a move to the area, here are some tips that I collected during the trip:

Welcome Back Manny! I hope that you Andreina and Santi had a Wonderful trip. I can’t believe you found a place already. Good for you. We’ll all drop in on you
during the summer. 
j/k…only some of us will.
Yum! Packing.
A Big Congrats on your new job. Your new employers made an Excellent choice. Best Wishes!
p.s. The House of Man(ny) did not fall while you were away. :o)
Hi Manny, Welcome to the left coast. You’re going to enjoy the Bay Area… many good places to go, great weather, interesting people (interpret that last one however you want). I live up the road a bit in Sacramento and have been known to endure the traffic and come down to that area for an occasional visit. Lots of hills to burn those calories in either a city or rural environment. Golden Gate park in SF and Mt. Tamalpais just north in Marin county, are just a couple of examples. Maybe we can hook up, one day. - Craig
