I don't think the transition will ever be complete, as I don't think I'll ever become used to it. Thinking as the other half continues to be a mindset long after things change.<br /><br />I would give my right arm to live on Vancouver Island or anywhere in the northwest for that matter (on the side of the cascades where it doesn't snow). I think you'll do just fine, and I don't think there will be any slurs about being American. If there are, take them from their source and pity the ignorant people who pitch them.<br /><br />Lots of happiness in your new life. Enjoy every moment. Don't worry about the rain--dance in it. Get good rain gear and explore when crowds aren't around!hobopalshttp://travelswithmrnimble.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731864442955869016.post-50526724786217510452012-06-22T12:54:36.588-07:002012-06-22T12:54:36.588-07:00I like your list of questions....maybe I'll wr...I like your list of questions....maybe I'll write a list of my own!<br />Let's set up a skype time, or you could just call me...afternoons next week would be fine.<br />Love,<br />JuneJunehttp://june-elena.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731864442955869016.post-66703705517954180492012-06-22T12:38:43.931-07:002012-06-22T12:38:43.931-07:00Transition!

Also an exciting time which jolts us out of our safe little havens that we build around ourselves. The good thing I see in your many questions is that most will resolve on their own. Making a living and health insurance will need attention whether one lives in Canada or USA. And you are not alone trying to figure out a way!<br /><br />Your statement concerning a desire for a Summer Solstice Party makes me think that you are well into and accepting your new place under the Flag of The Maple Leaf! Go dance in the sun and I raise my cup of tea to the both of you! Hear!Hear! <br /><br />My most challenging transition was probably and maybe still is,'What to do in retirement, and how will I adapt with all this free time'! Well I exercise more than ever, stay busier with many activities, and beginning to wonder how I ever had time to hold down a job! Now I wonder if I can afford this lifestyle? You see, making Mountains out of Mole Hills always has a way of creeping into my mind! Seems there is always something to worry about!parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201281917735686135noreply@blogger.com
