We retired here...ha ha...since I am still working full time as a
teacher but the SO is living the life of leisure at home. But....the
job pays for scuba diving in the Caribbean without having to dip into
other cash reserves. Sig Other has his orchid garden, his classic 1977
Land Rover, his coffee roasting hobby.

> Were you bilingual before the move?

No....and am still only moderately bilingual. My listening and reading
ability is Spanish far surpasses my ability to put it all together and
carry on in depth conversations.

> Family ties?

No family ties. We're Scottish/German ancestry and the Sig Other is
Danish/Scottish acncestry
