Ohioan and a Michigander relocating to London
« on: June 02, 2010, 02:00:37 AM »
We are relocating to London 15/08/2010. (Practicing the "correct" date & month).
Ohioan is a research engineer; Michigander is an urban planner, soon to be unemployed tag-along. Ohioan will work at University College London- so we are looking to live within 1 mile radius of Euston Station.

The hardest part of this whole process has been getting our dog into the UK. As it is, we think he might have to stay with relatives until Christmas to comply with all DEFRA regulations  :\\\'(

Welcome to UKY (from another Ohioan living in London)!

I hope the move goes smoothly and that everything works out with your dog!

We are also in Dayton. Though, I'm from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I moved to Dayton to be with my DH who is civilian military- hence the short notice on the move to UK! We only found out in early May.
