Joely, just be prepared for anything. Every child is different, obviously. I know a couple who moved to the island (SP) with their 5 year old and the kido was miserable so they ended up going back to the states just after 1 short year and them both having decent jobs. The kido just missed her relatives terribly and it made life very difficult for the parents. However, I'm sure that it's different for everyone.

Not trying to be discouraging but rather reminding you to be open-minded. smile

Good luck! smile
