@joanland Toure so welcome and it sounds like you’re well on your way to a good checklist.
I’ll tell you, at first I saw my move as a failure. I “couldn’t make it” in the town I’d chosen to retire in. It really changed when I started thinking of it as an adventure and thought about all the things I’ll be able to do once I move. The icing on the cake - or maybe the cake itself - is that I get to live just a short drive from my “baby” sister, my best friend.
I wish you all the luck and much happiness in whatever you choose.
