    this sounds perfect to me!
    we work 6 days a week for 8 months of the year then sit on our bums and do nothing for the winter.
    we generally spend time in the usa for part of the winter though. where do you stay in usa? were off to vegas in january, only 5 days this time. previously new york/san fran and also maine/boston area visting family.

    There's most likely forums for expats like yourself.

    You are sooo lucky. I live in Istanbul, but I've been in Granada for 6 months. That maybe the best 6 months of my life. :beer:

    ttoli and mchale

    thanks for your replies.. i had previously used google to try and find forums but has no luck as many were out dated and hadnt had any or very little interaction for years. (as with the one you suggested ttoli)

    As i was already a member here i thought id ask the question!
