    I can so relate! Our first time back to the US was horrible. We were overwhelmed and irritated. After a second year abroad, our homecoming was a bit better. We enjoyed the comforts of ‘home’ (we don’t really have one) for a shorter time – less than a month – and were off again. Not sure when we’ll circle around again, but I think each time gets easier. Sounds like you’ll be settling for a bit – wishing you all the best!

      That’s the idea. At least for now. You never know with us, though. lol

    Attitude really is everything! When you talked about reframing things in a previous post, that really hitthe nail on the head for me. Billy and I are reframing lots of things right now. My Mom just moved to Portland and our plan is to stay with her for a few months ( after she vacations here in Chiang Mai for two months) and then we’ll start house hunting in BC at some point. We’ve always wanted to explore the PNW so I’m really excited about it! I look forward to visiting Portland too. Where in Washington are you? Have you met any other unschoolers?

      Portland is a great city. Have considered it as well. Used to visit there quite a bit. Nice that you’ll have some time to check it out.

      The PNW is such a beautiful region. It’s really great being back. I’ve missed it a lot. We’re currently in Gig Harbor. This sit takes us into mid December, then we have a 10-day one on Whidbey Island which is a repeat from a couple of years ago. Trying to figure out where exactly in WA we’re going to settle, though.

      We haven’t met any other unschoolers, but I also haven’t been looking since we’re only in this town for 2-1/2 months.

    Talon, it’s been fun to follow your adventures and interesting that your adventures have led you back to Washington. You have chosen a very pretty part of the state to settle into. Hope it all continues to go well.

      We aren’t settling in Gig Habor. At least not likely. This is just where our sit is. Would love to stay on Kitsap, but it’s fairly pricey and perhaps too isolated for what Tigger will need. We’ll see. Washington is so gorgeous, though. Have really missed it.

    Reading about your transition back to the USA has been really interesting – I’m planning a longish-term move back as well and I recognized a lot of your anxious feelings from the earlier post in how I feel about being in the USA again. But this post has really gotten my excited. (Okay, I admit – I’m mostly excited about not having to bag my own groceries!)

    So glad to hear things are going well over there!

      Cool! When are you coming back? Do you know where you’ll be headed? And yeah, not having to bag your own groceries is a bit underrated. Mostly it’s just nice not having to deal with surly cashiers, and unlike Berlin you can pretty much bet that every place you go will accept a debit card. 😉
