thanx all
I wish I'd done this years earlier - that is all!!!

I also wish I hadn't have bought my last horse who's soon to be re-named as Miss Money Pitt! GRRR

As a Canadian, I'm at a slight advantage of not having to go through any immigration process, so the timeline I've planned hopefully isn't at the hands of many external factors!!!

Good Luck and Keep your chin up!

My first reaction was "nothing!"

But after reading some of the other posts, I think I maybe wish we had sold the house earlier and had some time off. But we were always advised not to do stuff like selling up til you were sure you were going ...... and I suppose there was possibly a danger we'd have eaten into our capital too much before coming over, had we had it to spend!

In anticipation of the move we did a summer trip to Glencoe, had never been and its only a few hours away, was brilliant and I would be going back next year if it wasn't for our move to BC in Jan.
we have done just the same... a few thousand miles around Europe and a short break in the UK a couple of times a year... all this just to say we've been there, done that! it's made us feel like tourists in our own back yard!
We don't want to be in Canada wishing we had been to all these places while we could but never bothered.
