Thanks everyone for the kind comments and best wishes! I certainly appreciate it.

I'll still officially reside in the U.S. until the Spanish government approves my work visa. That can take a few months so in all likelihood I won't be physically relocating until late summer/early fall.

In any event, I'll continue to particpate in the FlyerTalk forums (I just might not be as active) . You can't get rid of me that easily
