Hi Sam
Why don't you give it a try for just under six months. Rent out your homes here to make an income, and see how you feel out there? That would be my plan and as s-w-d says don't burn your boats.
Personally time flies when we are out there, and never seem to get done what we think we will.

Why is it I have less time now I am retired then when I worked?0 -
Thanks for that. I think I will look into giving it a try and see where we get to. I guess the concern at the moment is while I do not want to burn any bridges in the UK (re: business and houses) I still need to try and manage the impact my move will have. (even if it is only for a few months of the year).
You have given me food for thought!
Thanks

What price where you are?There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -
Sorry, not up to date with prices here at the moment. All is quite well, but life's a bit hectic - not to mention very hot!!Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good. - Thomas Sowell, "Is Reality Optional?", 19930

We are now thinking that we should combine UK and Fuerte living more to try and get a better balance. Currently looking at how we can work it if we live one month Fuerte and one month UK sort of thing...as then I can still run the business etc0
