Good point of course. I spoke to another mate earlier who is a contractor and was discussing it. He said it would be better if I moved as the UK role means I still have to travel regularly. As I was booking the next trip I thought, feck it why not have a look.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions! -
I doubt it. I wasn't planning to move to Miracle Village.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostMy brother lived there for 10 years and disliked it. But IMO he didn't live in great places.
We may have an opportunity to move over. A slim chance currently but if you're lucky we may be neighbours.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

We moved over about a year ago.
Rough to begin with but good now.
Get a 10/10 school check schools.org or com. Quite high pressure because of the common core.
Health is now more expensive since obamacare.
Real estate, agents are 10 a penny and tricky to deal with. Get every survey and inspection on the place you buy.
My daughters show and tell instructions state 'no weapons' ...she is 5.
