Mea Culpa

It's been over a year since we started something that we thought would be our craziest idea ever, the super commute. And it's working so much better then we predicted. 


After my last visit to Mexico we both realized that we just wouldn't have been happier with me and the kids living there. I would be complaining about all the things you already know, would be frustrated and driving my husband crazy with all the drama because, let's face it, no husband can stand an unhappy wife complaining all the time. It would also not have been that easy on the kids. Here they are at a good school and practicing sports at a different level than what I've seen in Mexico City. My husband really enjoys going to the beach every weekend, breathing fresh air, not having to fight traffic. And the flights are not too bad at all. He spends less time flying then he would spend driving, so we end up spending more time with him. And quality time, which is more important.


So I need to make a mea culpa and say thank you to HR and the relocation company. Their F--k up was the best thing that happened to us. It wasn't easy to fix everything and to get to this point. But things are working out. It's not the ideal situation but we know it will end soon. We can't wait to be together again as a family, but in the mean time we're enjoying life as it is.

Repatriation

I've already talked about repatriation on my "Life After Expat" post. Once again I came across a great article that I felt like sharing with you.
