newbie here (Manchester UK goingto San Antonio TX)

Hi all

Just like to say what a cool forum you have here - i came across it searching through google.

Am actually going the opposite way to you guys im a Brit moving to the US.

I caught up with my american father after 27 years and spent a lot of time last year travelling back and forth from the UK to San Antonio Texas.

As my father has been very ill (recently had a liver and kidney transplant) I decided that a week and 2 week dashes across the atlantic wasnt enough - not to the mention that SA actually felt like home the minute i stepped off the plane (am a bit brit, a bit american, a bit mexican!!! or what my family and friends call me in SA ....brixican!!!)

as i have no commitments in the UK i am jumping ship and moving to be with my dad and family in SA in two weeks time!!!

I would just like to say that some of the posts i have seen on here have been more than helpfull and overall theres a real good and friendly atmosphere about it all.

ive certainly booked marked you all for a return visit

Thank you for your kind words. Good luck with your plans, I wish your family well.

There are a couple of good sites for your situation on the Links page. Tho you've probably already found those sites anyway.

Take care!

We are currently in the USA so if you need any info. let us know....
Best of luck... SA is wonderful!

cool thanks for the welcome - am just sorry i cant be in SA right now as im missing fiesta!!!

Think my only concerns at the moment are really TAX and Health Insurance i have all my other paperwork sorted out - my father says hell sort it all out when i get there... have got personal health unsurance for the interim period though just to be on the safe side...
