Still remember your post months ago asking for advice for moving. I'm happy it worked out for you and your family squid! Hope you guys can settle down soon (I'm sure there's tons of paper work and other bullshit) and relax!

Hasn’t quite worked out yet. I still need to find a job (but I have interviews lined up) We came over a little early because we were worried that when the deportation start, everyone who can grab the first plane they came out of the US. We might never get out otherwise.

good to see you didn't wait to find out, the Berlin wall went up overnight after all.

Wish I could help, but I'm not in UK. Nevertheless, I believe in you and keeping my fingers crossed that you find a job quickly.

The logic is sound. Flights will be snapped up like pandemic loo roll.

That is definitely what I am expecting. Like everything else I am expecting in the next four years, I just hope I'm wrong.

The Nazi salute and the pardoning of all of those January 6th terrorists doesn't give me much hope.
