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?

). 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.

Re: If not New Zealand then where?
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.
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.
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 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...

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