Yes, that’s right – the French visa court was so moved by our appeal that, after only a year of deliberation, they decided to grant us our long-stay visas. We picked them up last month, and now we’re good to go. We’ll be moving sometime between Febrary and April, 2008, but we’re not sure where yet. Originally, we planned to go back to Toulouse<\/a>, since we loved it so much. But then I started thinking about how nice it would be to live near the beach, so Nice and Marseille started looking good. And then we wondered about living all over – spending a month or so in a dozen different cities, and that’s what we’re leaning toward right now. There are several problems with that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It’s expensive to move once, let alone 12 times\n
  2. It’d be a pain to find a new apartment every month\n
  3. I would need a (likely expensive) wireless internet connection, because many French rentals don’t have fixed phones\n<\/ol>\n

    I’ve got some good leads on number 3, so now I’m doing some research on number 2 – maybe we could find a rental agent who could help us find a place in each city, something like that.<\/p>\n

    In any case, it’s still all way up in the air, but at least now we know for sure that in just a few months we’ll be moving to France for a year – something I’ve been wanting to do for more than half my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
