On 17 September 2010, we packed up what was left of our belongings and drove to JFK Airport in New York, to set off on our next adventure. We said our final goodbyes to the USA, full of hope for the next stage of the journey.
Our route took us back to London for a total of six hours. Yes, it may seem mad, but saving money on an expensive emigration project seemed important at the time.
What was more important though, was that it gave us the chance to say some proper farewells to some very dear friends who we still miss very much. You know who you are.
We then boarded our flight to our new life.
We'll do a proper one year in post on Tuesday. That is our one-year anniversary. But we'll leave you with this.
We decided to make the move because we didn't want to look back in years to come and say "I wish we'd given it a go." we couldn't regret it if we tried and it didn't work out for whatever reason. At least we would have attempted to follow our dreams.
All we can say now is, no regrets.
