Expats

From time to time I consider the idea of living outside the US. I think about living in Europe...either England, Spain, or France (though not so much France because they dislike Americans so very much), and, on occasion, Canada. Sometimes...I think about living in Scotland, or Ireland, but I think it's much colder in those places than the others. I research places, living expenses, and so on, and get this 'itch' to go for a year...2 years...3...maybe 5 years.

You kids are spread out now. Visiting is difficult for us with everyone living their own lives. So, would now be the time for me to do something like this?
