Hi!
I found this website a few days ago and I am very glad I did. Just knowing there are Costcos in England was worth the price of admission! (oh wait, registration is free...never mind
)
I work for a large American company and spent October-November in London on a short term job assignment. They have since offered me a permanent position in London (happy dance!) and to get things rolling they sent me back over last week. I return to Los Angeles in late May, then will be relocating permanently sometime this summer.
It's a very exciting yet scary time, especially as I am also getting married (unlike most brides-to-be here, to a fellow American
) and we now have to run to the courthouse so he can get his spousal visa sooner rather than later (although we're still planning the big ceremony - and party!- for later this year). He's thrilled that we are moving, and I have to admit it was his enthusiasm that helped me to decide to take the job.
I'm incredibly lucky, as my company is doing most of the heavy lifting when it comes to UK relocation (i.e. visas, shipping, and flat-finding help), but I'm sure I will have lots of questions for the very kind and knowledgable people here - and I already have things to add to the "US things I miss/UK things I like" list
Cheers!
