Thanks for all the help. Yes, mainly to be close to my daughter and to live where we had hoped our fixed income would go further. The dollar was not quite so weak when we decided this! My husband wants to go to Malta where they speak English and that is still a possibility as is returning to the US. Our health insurance is eating up a big part of our income. Also, we are upset with blatant greed of our politicians, with their insensitivity to poor people and minorities, with an unwarranted war that has killed thousands of innocent people, and more. In the 60's we protested loudly and changes were made. Protests are not possible with the Republicans owning the media and telling lies to Congress and the public. This is not the America my mother loved when she immigrated here. Also, we are an interracial couple (40 years) and tired of all that entails. As you can see by my question, we are still unsure but at least we will get to travel and if it doesn't work out, we will return to the US. At our age a little adventure stimulates the blood!!!
