Breaking Up with Florida
I'd been waiting a long time to leave Florida. I hadn't chosen to live there; my parents had. And as a 10-year-old transplant in 1977 I hadn't liked the tall weeds in the field I had to stand in during recess. I didn't like the bugs. I didn't like the sand and I didn't…

I missed the seasons and the snow I remembered from the other places we'd lived, like Connecticut and Michigan.

Here's our experience: Sometimes hamburgers with a friend at Red Robin is more than hamburgers with a friend at Red Robin. Sometimes it leads to an opportunity. In our case, to expatriate. Our friend Dustin and his family had expatriated to Germany a couple years back.

5 Family Travel Tips to Keep Everyone Comfortable and Connected
5 Family Travel Tips to Keep Everyone Comfortable and Connected Stress-free family trips are impossible. But meaningful family vacations are not. Gathering the whole crew together—kids, parents, maybe even grandparents—and hitting the road is like preparing to see an old flame at a reunion.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
