Always sad when we lose good people from the US, but I can certainly understand your reasons why. Best wishes for a smooth move and a happy landing.

That sounds terrifying and thrilling. I don't know how to say good luck in Portuguese, so buena suerte to you both.

Well - why the hell not ! Enjoy.

The U.S. will be a shit show for a few years anyway.

Congrats! My immigrant husband and I just moved to New Zealand! Definitely didn’t think I’d be doing it at 60. Getting our dog here was definitely a feat. Welcome to the Southern hemisphere and hotter sun!

If I was 41 instead of 71 I would be contemplating a similar journey. To be leaving the US now is certainly understandable. And to make a life change for l’amour is well….🥰

Good luck and I look forward to living vicariously through your posts.

Also, 71, but, if I was younger, it would be anywhere but here. Truly worried what the next decade will bring to young and old in the US.

Wow! How exciting, Laura. That's wonderful news for you, albeit super sad for our country. Damn. It's amazing that it's come to this.
