I moved to NZ from Oklahoma in 1998, and have not regretted it since, not even a little. It was a big jump, but we jumped with both feet anyway - me, my wife (Arizonan by birth) and a teen-aged son. We soon had a half-Kiwi grandson, and we've adopted new family ties here. Got my NZ citizenship in 2008. This land is now my home, and I love it dearly. It's tough to not see friends and family for long periods of time, but everything else is good. My accent won't go away, so most Kiwis assume I'm a tourist or a short-timer until they get to know me. I regret that I haven't had much spare time lately to follow conversations on hubski.
