Thailand is my favorite place. Been there many times and want to go back one last time. I have two sons who are half Thai, they are my reason for being here. They are 23 and 9 and while I wouldn't miss much here especially Donald Trump and Republicans, I would miss them.

I went to Thailand in 1983...Beautiful memories keep us alive!

WOW! SO happy for you--living a life you've planned! So many people don't do that. Life just happens to them. Sounds to me as if you set goals and make them happen! Nice smile on your face there....

Thanks!
Sadly, cancer put an end to that life and I had to return to the US last year. But Albuquerque is nice also, and before I went to Thailand in 2010 I had planned to move here first.

@birdingnut So--your ''fall back plan'' worked, too.
