So many decisions and questions

Moving from one country to another requires huge adjustments but we have found that the positives in Malta outweigh the compromises.

We don't always agree but in this case I do.

I guess we were a bit naive when we started hoping a move to Malta would be as straight-forward as a move in the UK. At first my internet searches revealed just the positive aspects of living there. Then I started to unearth the technicalities and legal processes involved. It wasn't until I found this site that truths and experiences began to put flesh on the bones, so to speak.
Maybe, when we take another holiday in Malta, we'll do some focussed searching instead of just 'being on holiday'. If we could get to meet and talk to any of you over a drink while there we'd be more than happy to.

Maybe you could rent a holiday flat when you come on holiday? That way you will be 'forced' to live a little like you would here, food, heating, cooling. There are many available throughout summer and winter, although winter will offer more choice and it's very resonable.

Just a thought of course!

rent one in winter Dec to March and that will be the worst you can face weather wise...or conversely if you are not too heat friendly then try renting in the peak of summer....
