Well congrats to you guys for following through with your plans. The 
idea of being an expat appeals to me but I fear that I have too much 
Ugly American in me to do it now.

Actually, the weather is mild in the area we live. It never gets hotter than
86.   But from what I hear about the weather on the east coast last week,
you guys would have been rolling your eyes at my complaints about it being
cold earlier this week.

The move started off as a joke.  We had been talking about moving to the
west coast.  My husband was reading an article on the open source software
movement in Brazil in Wired Magazine a few weeks before the Election. His
father was a diplomat and he has lived or traveled extensively in Latin
America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia. So, going to live in some
"exotic" location appeals to him.  Anyway, we are liberals and had been
freaking out over all the stuff the Bush administration had been doing, so I
jokingly told him that if Kerry lost lets move our business to Brazil.

I started researching start up companies setting up expatriate business
operations and how cheap it was to live in developing countries.  After the
election, and my research showing how much our cost of living would go down,
we started talking seriously about it.

While we were leaning toward moving to brazil, we looked at Costa Rica (we
have friends that did it there), Malaysia (some other friends there) and
about six other countries.  Mexico was among them.

Over time it went from our second choice to our first choice.  I'm
relatively sure we are going to stay, at least for a while.
