I have suggested that and she has said 'No, I do not want to do that' .... We are going down South to some friends we met late last year.... the wife is a South African and she has been telling my wife to seriously seriously reconsider.... it was a big move to make and we should not throw in the towel so easily. They have offered us a place to stay and storage for our stuff etc. ... We will be looking at accomodation down that side ... the cost of living is much cheaper there.... but big drawback is many hours and many euro;s to get to international airports .... we shall see
