x/p I have news

[Cicero]

We are moving to Tanzania at the end of the month.  Part of me is really excited and part of me wonders what Hell is in store for us doing this with a toddler and a newborn.

[quesyrah]

Wow! That sounds exciting and terrifying lol. Where are you moving from?

[miamigirl]

Good luck! What will you be doing there?

[dcn]

Sounds like an adventure!

I totally didn't just google where Tanzania was. Nope.

Congratulations! That sounds like quite an adventure.

[Poeticxpassion]

It sure does sound like an adventure! Best of luck to you! What is the healthcare system like over there?

I'll find out next week when we go for a few days to find a place to live. We'll be getting back on the worldwide health insurance policy we had while we were living in Asia though so we can go pretty much anywhere for service.

Probably lunch. I won't have a work permit. H's job is the one that has moved.

East coast of the US.

[pinotgrig]

Wow!! Did you just find out today? Did you know it was a possibility?

You should start a blog!

[teatimefor2]

That is so exciting! How long do you expect to be there?

We had friends who lived in Nepal and went there a few times on holiday. They loved it.

[timorousbeastie]

Oh, wow! Exciting! Good luck!

We found out just before Christmas but it just became public today. We are actually in the US on an international assignment despite both being Americans. H's long term job is in Europe. We knew we'd be moving on to another location eventually. It was only a matter of time.

I used to blog when we lived in Europe and Asia and it fell by the wayside when we moved to the U.S. maybe I should start again...

It's hard to say. They've always been 3-5 year contracts but we've been here two and a half years and that's the longest we have lived in one country since we got married eight years ago. Although that being said, there are things that make me believe that the 2 1/2 year old will be into elementary school before we move on again.

[dulcemariamar]

That is so cool. Do you have a date for the move yet?

[shelbyann]

That is crazy and exciting! Wow.

[Marmee]

Wow! That's pretty exciting! My mom's good friend is from there (& a priest who is back there). My mom is dying to go visit him!

[chickens987]

How cool! Good luck!

[mpc]

wow! how crazy and exciting. my good friend lived there for 2 years in the peace corps and she loved it.

[osulori]

Wow, how exciting!

[bearbaby]

So exciting - good luck!

I spent a couple weeks in Tanzania in high school on an extended Habitat for Humanity trip (lol at what seemed so 'normal' when attending an international school...) and loved every minute of it.

We followed it up with a respite stay for a few days in Zanzibar and it was magical.

I think you'll love it!

[monsterz]

How exciting.

[CloudBee]

So exciting! I hope you post about your adventure!!

[SJ]

Incredible!

We loved Tanzania!

[halfpint]

That sounds amazing. Now my mind is trying to figure out what kind of industry/job would need you in Tanzania. I'm always so jealous of people who get to do expat assignments. It's pretty unlikely that my line of work will take me anywhere cool!

[curbsideprophet]

Good luck!

[anna7602]

Very exciting! Good luck!
