Comments on: Should We Stay Or Should We Go? http://www.thekristydave.com/2008/11/should-we-stay-or-should-we-go/ the further adventures of Kristy and Dave Wed, 22 Dec 2010 14:09:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: David http://www.thekristydave.com/2008/11/should-we-stay-or-should-we-go/comment-page-1/#comment-8785 David Wed, 15 Sep 2010 18:31:52 +0000 http://www.thekristydave.com/?p=165#comment-8785 Matthieuuuuuu! Thanks for the upbeat words of encouragement. While this particular post and decision are from nearly 2 years ago now (and obviously, at that time, we decided to stay), we did recently find ourselves tackling the same question again (always). Things now are very different. The baby changed everything - all good, of course, but it means our priorities and responsibilities have changed... drastically. Home - with family, security, etc for the baby - is calling us back. We are heeding the call. Plus, you and everyone else dear to us LEFT a looong time ago! :( We are always the last to leave the party... but seems like the time has finally come for us. You are 100% correct, of course, mon ami. No matter where we go, our time here, with life lessons learned and friendships made, will continue to enlighten and enrich us. And for that, I thank you. And thank Greece and this paradise known as Crete. Care to visit us one more time before we vacate the premises? :) Matthieuuuuuu! Thanks for the upbeat words of encouragement.

My past life experience are there to prove that my advices would be of a very poor quality. All I can say is that Florin's comment is brilliant. Hesitation is so fuckin' civilized, screw civilisation ;-) At the same time, should you decide to leave, everything that you've learned here in Greece* can be either transposed or introduced in any new social environment/group of friend you may develop elsewhere. My thoughts are with you guys. * quote "No consumption-driven, rushed, workaday commuter life for us here" I heartfully sympathise with your dilemna.

Thanks for your vote of support, bro :) - you know I wish we could've discussed in person over a bottle of JD, but we know we've got our family and friends behind us on this one, regardless of what we decide. Speaking of decisions, we probably need to formally announce our decision, huh? Oh and yes, you and Sue will find a way to come out here!!! Ela, re! Ochi tora, TORA! hey John!

First off, sorry I missed the vote... I've been avoiding the cpu when home cause it causes me to waste time. So, now I'm at work, past my alloted time for lunch, viewing TKD blog on my phone! Access to this tech, it's one of the few things great about this country. My vote would have been stay. I miss you both, but I'll find a way to get there for a visit if you stay. Plus, things are so f'ed up over here right now I think you are probably better off staying put for the near future and see what the clowns running this country do to improve it over the next few years. But you know I am becoming more of an anarchist every day... I'm not there yet, but considering it ! Anyway, do whatever your hearts tell you to and the rest will fall in place.... Maybe Kristy's job offer is a sign? Bro & Sis! First off, sorry I missed the vote… I’ve been avoiding the cpu when home cause it causes me to waste time.
