Thanks to all for your diffrent views and advise,but my family and i are going to make the step across and give it a go, life here is not all good but not all bad and maybe a change from the norm will be just what is needed. we are only on earth for a short time and I for one dont what to spend my life thinking what if...or if only.I want to spend as much time as i can with my family instead of in work,So the house is up for sale and the ball is in motion. so wish me luck please.. thanks to all .wigblue ps It will be nice to get away from the crap on the tv to start with...
