    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.

      We may have an opportunity to move over. A slim chance currently but if you're lucky we may be neighbours.
      I doubt it. I wasn't planning to move to Miracle Village.

            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.

              And, this would be the dealbreaker for me.

                I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
