We thought about the highlands of Scotland or one of the Islands - but we couldnt afford it!

I'm sure some are, but not what we looked at - maybe some are cheaper if there arent many jobs around? I dunno!
But when we looked into it it was a real no go. We used to rent a house from a friend who lived on Islay and go there pretty much every summer.

A Canadian friend of mine lived on Grand Cayman for 7 years. She left voluntarily when she got engaged and she and her new fiance started looking for jobs in the US. She worked for the Westin resort and had a whale of a time. She left right before the big hurricane struck...

We can get in to NZ coz sensibly hooked up with Kiwi - don't speak any other languages well enough, and nowhere else would have us?!
