Hello my friend @dandays 😁👋🏻😎 don’t make me blush there hehehe 🤭 good morning!
That’s great 😁 of course I appreciate it. Always… love learning new things. I’ll keep an eye out for it. Thanks 🙏🏻 already! I think more newbies will appreciate it too.
Ooo I know, they are real nothing acting or anything like that.
That’s good she does now check first. We don’t even open the door if it wasn’t agreed on before to meet someone. 85% of the time ours rings, it’s not for us anyway. (Gated community for now, only rental we could get in 3 days when we needed to switch quickly rentals last time hahaha 🤣)
You are welcome 🤗 have a wonderful Tuesday 👋🏻☀️
You're leaving Spain fairly soon, right? How much longer you got there? Remind me, you're going to Boston, correct?
We hope it is soon, but because of many delays… paperwork, backlogs etc. it is taking longer. And some changes in the company in the last months (as we are relocated by the company) had to go first. We hear more end of this month. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻Hope it will make things go a bit faster. So for now I can’t tell you when exactly. Sigh… started last October hahaha but we are patient. 😇
Nope not going to a big city. We are looking into the entire state of Mass. but it could change to any other State around it. Hope the company gives us a clear on our choice. It will be New England though. So we can search more specific/ focus on one area.
But we have plan B and C ready too. If something wouldn’t go ahead, we do leave Spain 🤓😉😎
Funny you say B and C. We're actually on our plan b right now and didn't plan on having to ditch it. Plan is a funny word. Long story but England won't let me stay here and my wife's frikkin British! I could drop so many curse words right now about the whole thing but we're just rolling with the punches.
I'm telling you cuz if Spain doesn't work out after at least a month of getting a feel for it, we'll be there in October, we'll engulf ourselves in a couple other spots. But Pura's already been shopping properties again stateside around N/C and Virginia beaches. We might be a lot closer than you think sooner than you think.
(We sure did venture way off getting away with murder) =}
(we sure ventured way off of that… but that doesn’t matter… let others pick up on it)
Ooo noooo sorry to hear that. That is just crazy, especially as you wife is British 😳😳 wow… speechless.
Not funny in any way. I feel you… that’s…. Gggrrrrrr
Spain is funny in many ways, for us… hubby been here 15 years and me 7 years… it changed too much. Not for the good. Not sure you guys would fit in. But you need to get a feel for it. Truly watch carefully around. See…
Especially as rules changed paper wise too.
Ooo that does sound cool if you would end up back in the states not too far from us… 🤓😎 keep me posted 😁
We couldn’t chose those states. But out of the ones the company is in… New England ones were the best hehehe 🤭 and the SEO wanted us to be on the east side. Because of working hours with other countries.
I'm from California, I've probably already told you that. That would be simple to go back but we're both firm believers nothing lasts forever. That being said, should we go back to the states, we're thinking of parking on the east coast this time and give it 5-10 years. I've lived in about 15 states.
No doubt I'll die in the state I was born in but for now, I got at least 30 more years in me. So between now and then since all my friends and Pura's family is in California, we visit about twice a year. A month at a time. That's enough.
This is my long winded version of trying to convince myself the east coast will be a nice change of scenery when honestly, like brutal honesty, all I want is to be somewhere I don't want to leave.
Do you know how to get there? Where I want to stay?
Yep, you did 😊
So far what I read, saw and heard about the east coast sounds great. And 5 to 10 years would be a good time to get a feel for it.
But I soooo understand you. Moving around so much, even countries. We are in the same boat 🛶 hehehe 🤭 kinda.
After this much moving about, we crave… really crave to settle down. Like you! To just Be in a spot we don’t want to leave. I soooo get it. We both never grew roots. 🌳
But is that even possible?? Sounds like we (you and Pura and hubby and me) are forever wanderers…
Let’s do hope WE find that spot! For once…
We probably only find it though by moving around, traveling going on our adventures… seeing things, truly seeing things. Don’t you think?
If you know “the spot”… let us know too hehehe 🤭
I want dogs so bad. Been almost 10 years since I put down my last dog. Pura wants an art studio real bad, somewhere we can yank the floor up and she can splash paint around.
When we see a painting we like or a mirror or a vase or a bbq or even a damn dinner plate, we could actually consider brining it home cuz we have one.
I sound like a female dog huh? I know it! I can't help it. A lot of people would envy your position as they would mine, I get it. But I bet you would agree, expatting is exhausting. There comes a time you just want to park.
You don't have kids do you? Neither do we.
