    So, I am moving back to the States

    After very nearly 16 years in the UK (I will be exactly two months away from that anniversary), I have decided to move back to the States. I will be moving to the San Francisco Bay area of California and I will be making that move on March 12.

    My job is staying the same apart from working on a different time zone.

    I am excited, nervous and so much more all rolled into one but mostly excited.

    Of course, being me, I have already registered the domain for the blog I will be writing about adjusting back to American life after all these years.

      Good luck Sarah, I don't think you'll find it as hard as you think. Living in Scotland all my life till I was 25 then 3 different places in the last 2.5 years, I have adjusted to each place pretty well.

              Ha...and soon I will be around people that get that culture reference. Every time I have made a Kotter reference over here I get met with blank looks.

                      Welcome back to the US Sarah, I am sure you will adjust back to the red white and blue pretty quickly

                                  Congrats on your move.

                                  I was going to return to the states myself, but unfortunately, deportation causes certain limitations...

                                                  Life changes combined with having two new nephews in the space of 20 months and ageing parents. I still can't bring myself to live on the same coast as them but the same continent makes dealing with emergencies slightly easier. I have had two grandparents die in the last few years and each time I was the cause of delays to funerals. So, time to come home. Of course, being me, I had to find the most liberal place I could. Plus, I have a ton of close friends there already.

                                                              yeah, my wife and I have talked about moving out of Country as well. With her and my parents both getting older I'm guessing if we did make the move it would be temporary at best. Not sure we want to go through the hassle of moving, then 5-10 years down the road we have to pack up and come back...

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                                                                                                                                  Just out of curiosity, how does this kind of turmoil affect pension benefits? None of us are getting any younger and I know that the bullshit thing called the EU purports to allow "transition of pension contributions from member state to member state" but in reality, that's bullshit - 10 years of contribs in the UK == 3 years contribs in France. So how does the moving back to the US affect you in that area?

                                                                                                                                  I know most UK have private pensions, and US too, but are they flexible like that or will you end up with 20GBP here and 20USD there per month etc when the time comes....

I will be moving to the San Francisco Bay area of California and I will be making that move on March 12.

                                                                                                                                              My job is staying the same apart from working on a different time zone.

                                                                                                                                              I am excited, nervous and so much more all rolled into one but mostly excited.

                                                                                                                                              Of course, being me, I have already registered the domain for the blog I will be writing about adjusting back to American life after all these years.

                                                                                                                                              Wow that will be a big transition. I have only been gone 8 years and I barely imagine moving back to the States...... not because I don't love the place...... just because it is so different from what I have become used to. Anyway best of luck with the move.

Living in Scotland all my life till I was 25 then 3 different places in the last 2.5 years, I have adjusted to each place pretty well.
