Great vlogs. My wife and two kids now 8 and 13 moved here to Orlando 2 yrs ago from Lancashire. We like it here too, there are challenges and tbh it’s taken us about 2 yrs to adjust and I am finally starting to enjoy the lifestyle more now. I am a nurse and work in Adventhealth in Downtown but we live in St. Cloud. Youngest lad jumped right in to school but my 13 yr old daughter has struggled to make friends and bullying is an issue here unfortunately. Pros and cons, more pros and cons!!! Thanks for your transparency! Would be great to compare notes. LOL
Just a side note. Honeymoon period. I hope it will be one long honeymoon for you but most people have a downer after about 3-6 months, every single nurse I know who came from around the world went through it, including me but it gets better eventually. Miss the humour of UK and sarcasm, also international news, no humour here with Americans they take themselves far too seriously. LOL. Enjoy the ride!
Really loving these vlogs, so interesting. Especially love the shopping ones. Our family have been to Florida many times but not for about 7years so I’m a bit shocked at some of the prices of groceries there now. For the bread dilemma for beans on toast we used to get a sliced loaf called wonderbread which wasn’t sweet like the others. Also the artisan bread from fresh bakery sections in places like publix is usually very good but pretty expensive. X
Oh I miss those sunsets they are so stunning ❤ The 10/10 cookie looked very yummy! If you want really nice shells you should go to the beach this week as you'll find many after the storm. But best would be to go to Anna Maria Island or even Venice (for shark teeth) Thats the place I wanted to move to when I was younger. I love Venice
Loving your vlogs , it’s so interesting seeing how you are settling into the USA . Loving all the shopping trips , there is nothing like an American shopping mall ! X
Purely because I watch so many vlogs, the shop is actually called Joanne as in the name. 😂 Hoping to go to one when I’m over next year as still not made it to one!
I'm so happy you finally have comments on (I'm not on Instagram)! I've been loving your vlogs, I am also hoping one day to move to the US from the UK. Come on Green Card Lottery! 😂
Love your updates ❤ the healthcare is a huge issue for me in moving to Florida which would be our dream as I'm type1 diabetic 😢 living through you guys though, what a wonderful time for you all ❤
How does health care work for you guys? Is there a period where you’re reliant on travel insurance?! Loving watching your vlogs - we’ve been visiting Florida for over 30 years..:it’s a very special part of our life too xx x
@@OurDisneyFloridaLife great ty looking forward to it. I'm also interested in the school system over there when urs start. U guys are such a great family living the dream xx
@@tinabenham8304 hey! I haven’t done one in a few weeks. But the Disney springs and Busch gardens one will be up soon…I’ve been having technical difficulties 🙈 xxx
Glad you are enjoying Sarasota.Lived here over 30 years,definitely different than Rochdale.My daughter was 8 when we came.After one week of going to her new school,she spoke with an American accent!Hope your two are looking forward to going..
Remember that places like TJMaxx and Home Goods are those kind of places that if you like something you need to get it there and then.Once gone that’s it,they probably won’t be restocked.If you shop say in October looking for Halloween stuff there won’t be any good stuff left .
It looks like you had a fun week. Oh all that shopping ❤ I would go every day just to see what they got. You are so lucky that you don't have to watch out for the weight as you are not flying back 😅 About the dried flowers for your new vase you should check out Michaels. They do have tons of those for every season. Can't wait for the next vlog. How exciting!
Hi Darling, absolutely love the vlogs and your family. Tiny piece of advice, edit out the clips of your son on the fork lift - wouldn't want Tony getting into trouble!
Florida is just so nice! Was even better years ago. I moved from Boston, Massachusetts in 1989. I used to come down every year on vacation and figured I would just move here. Although moving within the US is easy of course..relocating from another country is so hard. My parents did it with us when I was just 3 years old. Your children will lose their beautiful English accents as it gets lost if u come to America before you are 10 yrs old or so. but you guys will always have them for them to enjoy. 🇺🇲 🇬🇧
Your lifestyle looks so idyllic guys! You seem to be taking to Florida like ducks to water 🫶🏻 it must be so nice to be there without the pressure of having just a couple of weeks to explore and fit everything in! Oh how I’d love to just wander around target and homegoods 😍 how has the transition been from visiting as tourists vs living there? Have you had any progress on the school enrolment?
great vlog. Ash wants to visit Siesta Key's, she's mentioned it a lot as she watches the show LOL. Nice to see all the different sights there, and only 2 hours away. Hope you had a fun at Busch Gardens, and enjoy Disney Springs, it's my favourite place to go.xo
We are Loving following your family's journey! We are about to start a visa application process to hopefully make our Florida dreams come true, too. Our kids are 11 and 8 and being able to show them how much fun yours are having and how much they aren't scared has been a big help. The hubby cottoned on to Lucas Lagoons this vlog. We have watched Insane Pools on repeat for years! A grotto is my Florida dream hahahaha. Thanks for vlogging your journey and experience, can't wait to see more.
@@AnAwfullyBigAdventure oh wow how exciting for you guys! Hope all goes well ❤️ ahh that means a lot - I’m so glad this has helped them. They will love it so much! Hahah yes we always loved watching insane pools and it’s crazy that my husband and Lucas have a business together 😂 honestly feels so surreal! Thank you so much for watching and following along ❤️
Knew you were talking about that disney sign when you said you were at the big Mcdonalds. I was so excited when i saw it a couple of months ago. I’m still too scared to drive over there,you’re doing so well
Awww loved how chuffed you were when you drove to Orlando. Well done you. Great vlog. I'm basically living my best life through what you get up to. Such an outdoorsy life. Love it. Looking forward to the next one. ❤
Omg I would be ecstatic if I even drove a car off the drive in Orlando nevermind drive for 2 hours!! I’m too much of a wimp to attempt it and I’ve been 8 times!! I’ve only just stumbled across your vlog so I have a thousand questions but will catch up with the other videos before I ask!
you should be proud. I've been here 11 months and still can't believe I'm here. LOL. We're 40 minutes from Disney and it's awesome. So excited for you. What a palaver with the flights..nightmare. What a great splash park, in a very picturesque area. Absolutely love Disney Springs. Great vlog - really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing. xo
Aw thank you so much for watching ❤ it’s such a surreal experience to be here isn’t it! But so amazing!! Yes the splash park was great!! Can’t wait for Disney springs ❤x
