The thought of moving to a Caribbean country and never seeing winter again seems like an easy decision to make and not an uncommon dream for many people. So why doesn’t everyone do it? Why not just work for forty years in Canada, get older and more tired, then pack up a few personal items and move. No cold, no more snow, and nothing to do but sit on a beach with a cold drink and ensure you aren’t getting a sunburn. It is one of those thoughts that is nice to spend time dreaming about and a great way to pass the time, especially when you are amid winter and growing tired of the cold, short, dark days. I admit that this was how I first thought of it. It was easy to use as a goal without ever giving much though to it from a practical perspective. As I grew older and started to believe that J and I could make it our reality, I had to do some serious soul searching. I had to think about what I truly wanted and what was right for our family and for me as an individual.
