Enjoying our "Are you sure?" visit here in Madeira. Looked at more apartments yesterday and today and saw about 4 that we really liked. All but one had water views. Our realtor knows our timeline, so she's been really good about understanding what we want & need. We'll be back next September to do a lease and start our paperwork for moving over here. We'll need to have about 40k (1 1/2 x the yearly minimum wage) in our bank account over here before we can move here. We can do that now, but we only put 7k in so far, because that money ain't making us money just sitting there, so we're going to put the rest in next year. To quote the duel scene from Hamilton: "So, we're doing this?" Yep, we're doing this! On a funny note, I'm beginning to appreciate smaller cars now. I can't imagine having a large ride on this island. Some of these small cars over here are fucking dope.
