If not New Zealand then where?
 
So if you are too old, too ugly or just plain undesirable for New Zealand then where else would/have you considered?

No not desperate but I have used to have a farely interesting life. Full of danger, fun and wild parties (well not really but it sounds good :D ).

I think I just want a change and some adventure. Looked at the Caribean, Bermuda, Fiji, Oz, Canada, US but they wouldnt have me, I have no skills just the gift of the gab and a sense of fun.

islandmom, where do you live?

I'm already in my 3rd country (England, then France, then the US). We would have stayed in France if we could have found jobs and hubby could have learnt French. He could understand 90% of what was said to him, just couldn't respond. :D

England's too expensive now.

We don't want our daughter in the US school system (she's 5), but at least the political landscape changed for the better 2 days ago. :D

We considered Eire, but don't want to be in a country where they frown on birth control.

Oz is too hot, plus hubby's about to turn 45, so he'd be over their age limit anyway.

Canada's too cold :D so that left us with the US, where hubs is from.

Am a little nervous, if we do move, about the remoteness of NZ, have to say, and taking my parents' only grandchild even further away from them...

well if you're a business owner any of the Caribbean islands will let you in if you're going to start up a business - somewhere like Bequia (gorgeous!) or Mustique which are 8 miles from us would cry out for a business like that! and you're income tax free for 3 years as a foreign investor.. great thing is you can link up with hotels and resorts and sell to them too

What about import taxes ect.?

Like I said I have no skills, not a beautician (but I do look good ;) ) or a hair stylist or anything like that.
