Diana, personally, I don't plan to EVER go back to the USA. I've found my paradise. There is no comparison between my life in the USA and my life here in Spain. Here, for me, I HAVE a life - which wasn't the case in the USA - by comparison. Diana, I can imagine that someday, when you've completed your career goals - OR when/if you find you can accomplish them FROM Spain - you'll then seriously consider a permanent move. But don't wait TOO late! We tend to put our roots down DEEP the longer we stay in one place. When your children have their children (in the USA) you'll be less likely to make that move to Spain and leave those Grandchildren behind. En fin, do whatever makes you the happiest and you'll be fine. Saludos, MadridMan

Madrid Man, I'm curious about your statement that you don't ever plan to go back to the USA to live. Of course, this may be just an expression of how much you enjoy your new home, and at some point you may end up returning. But I am curious as to, if its true that you really envision never going back, what exactly has made you arrive at that conclusion. I am curious because I left the USA 10 years ago, thinking I would never return. I haven't, but my reasoning and motives have changed significantly over the years. For as much as I have loved this country I have stopped looking at it through rose coloured glasses and I find as many faults with it as I do my former home. I'm just wondering about your perspective, because as I understand it, you made this move recently. It does sound like you are really enjoying life in Spain, enhorabuena!

Jerezano, I'll keep my answer to you brief as it's off-topic. My plan is to never return to the USA to live. That's not to say that I'll NEVER go back to live but at present I don't plan to go back. At present, at least, things are too good for me here in Spain as compared to the same things in the USA. At home in Spain, MadridMan

Bravo muchachos y muchachas! It's all about timing and life choices. My imminent move to Spain is about precisely that. Life's too short NOT to enjoy.

Madrid Man, with a title such as "General Spain Chatter", I hardly think your thoughts as to why you plan on staying in Spain forever are off topic. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to know why you think Spain has become your permanent home!

I applaud all of you who, at any age, decided to live your dream of living in Spain....MadridMan, I have to say I think it's wonderful you actually did move to Spain...but I a have a question for you....do you find it difficult since you don't speak fluent Spanish? (correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading some time ago that you don't - but maybe you've learned since then!!) and also, how in the world did you manage to find a job? Or are you working for an American company in Madrid?
I hope to spend more time in Spain one day...I would love to take a year of sabbatical and go spend time there....that is my plan....but unfortunately now, it's time to settle down and start a family....so these forums are keeping my dream alive!!! Thanks guys!
