Hi david and welcome from me also. i dont know what difficulties you will encounter moving from the US to the UK.Your best bet is to contact the British embassey where they will provide you with the relevent info. Unfortunatly, as in the rest of Europe, coming from a non-member country you will need to satisfy certain criteria. please check this to avoide being refused entry at the airport and returned home.  if you try to cheat your way in, for example as a studant or visitor you will be questioned in reference to supporting yourself for the duration of your stay. Any hint you may give that you will need to work to do that (ie as a cook, chef or teaching and you havnt got a work permit will almost see you being refused entry). it sound harsh I know, but when you think about it, its just as difficult for someone to enter the US. please make sure you have the correct documentation and reasons for coming, to avoid being dissapointed.  Also please remember that although we have some beautiful roses we also have the odd thorns too. hope you get what you want.

Hi, David..

Welcome to POE!  I live downstate in the suburbs of NYC.  The Finger Lakes area of the State is beautiful (though I've never been).  Vermont is lovely, too, and a place I used to dream about living, though as with the FL, I've never been there, either.  Like you, I love mountains and hills, too.

As to moving to England, there is a website called, "An American in England" written by someone who is just that..and he gives details of his experiences in relocating to this fascinating country.  You might want to check it out and see if it helps you: www.anamericaninengland.com   There is also another site with an FAQ regarding moving to the UK.  It's at: www.avatar-moving.com/gh_showarticle.asp?hid=47 I hope it proves helpful to you.

Good luck, David..and I hope you enjoy this site. :)

Hugs, Jo
