This fellow, Noel Phillips, I've been watching on YouTube, moved from Manchester to Houston a while ago. The video which I found this morning was of that move. The moving party included Noel and his wife, two kids, and two of the grandparents. Their goods and chattels had been taken away in a container but it would take three months for it to be delivered so they had to take extra with them to get through those three months. The party of 6 had 16 suitcases, so they had to shop around to find an airline which would take that amount of luggage. When they got to the airport, they wee 4Kg overweight and had to pay 120 euros, or something.
To compound the issue, three of the group were in wheelchairs!! It might have taken a moving van to get them all to the airport.
Questions arise. Is it a good idea to take three people who need a wheelchair to a country notorious for having issues with providing health care and has more medical bankruptcies than anywhere else? What benefit could there be for that family to move from the place where they grew up to somewhere like Texas? How will the kids benefit by having to attend an educational system which brings up the rear in world rankings? Why take on the risk of being involved in a school shooting if you don't have to?
Noel didn't address any of those questions and waffled on about 'always wanting to move there' and 'it will be good for my business'. I would have thought that you could make videos from anywhere in the world but what do I know.
Good luck, Noel! Let us know how you get on.
