Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it.

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.

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.

I keep telling people, we can only fly 30 meters at a time.

Plus, Wonder Woman can fly and she has an invisible jet.

Best start writing metres if you want to survive in the UK. People have been mercilessly dunked into the Thames for less!

At first I read 30 minutes at a time, and was gonna give you crap for not leapfrogging across the pond. It’s not that big. The one next to me is bigger :P

I’m impressed she’s sleeping. I can’t sleep on airplanes no matter what I take.

I’m impressed, I can’t fly 30 meters over multiple times.

Do you not have a biological water jet? What happens if a shark comes swimming up to you?

Land dwellers are weird.

Many would be curious about the path to emigration you took. Have you shared about this anywhere?
