JixHedgehog 06/29/22 11:38:13 PM #5:	Australia -> USA 17 years Biggest challenge - The paperwork, expenses and travel involved. I had to come here, fly back, then my now wife had to fly there, then we both had to fly back to the US. We had a few stressful hiccups but it worked I got used to how cheap everything was over here so it came as a huge shock how pricey everything was when we went to see my folks in 2011 One huge lesson I learned was to get a job with "health insurance" .. for the longest time I was oblivious to what that meant Fun stories - Disneyland seemed like a myth living in Australia, but we've gone many times. We got to experience Comic Con in San Diego a few times, we've had trips here and there, parties and what not. It's been a blast Interesting tid bit - within my first year I experienced my first ever drive by shooting as we slept and the next door neighbors house was shot at Things I miss - living about a 15 minute drive from the beach and Melbournes atmosphere... --- *America!* Weak on acknowledging assassination attempts on Conservative Justices <cite>JixHedgehog posted [p:966219685] in Anyone her...

Biggest challenge - The paperwork, expenses and travel involved. I had to come here, fly back, then my now wife had to fly there, then we both had to fly back to the US. We had a few stressful hiccups but it worked so far seems like getting my cat over to Scotland is going to require multiple flights. one flight to get my luggage over (I just packed up my life into 4 big suitcases and a large AF duffel bag to check on the plane with me). want to get to my destination there with all that. but trying to figure out if it's better to fly with my cat to Paris and take a train to Edinburgh so I can keep her with me as carry on, or if having her in cargo would be better than 20+ hour traveling otherwise...(can't have carry on pets coming into the UK, thanks brexit) JixHedgehog posted...
