stories of five non-Brits on the Great Isle


WE DID IT!

We made it to our new home! It was simple, really. Completely uncomplicated. No, we did not bribe unnamed people in Pennsylvania to get T3’s birth certificate five days after he was born. No, we did not stress every single day about the arrival of his passport. No, we did not have to rent a truck to haul all the bags and all the people to the airport…in addition to the car we already filled up. No, we would never let our kids watch as many movies as they wanted on their iPads during a cross-Atlantic flight. No, of course I did not look and feel like a total wreck upon arrival. See? Like I said, perfectly and utterly easy!

It only took….

2 cars

3 kids

4 adults

7 hrs flying

9 carry-ons

12 checked bags

140 oz frozen breastmilk

544 lbs of luggage

3,677 miles
