Americans Abroad

but I was responsible for moving our employees to and from overseas locations primarily Asia and Europe. Most had previously lived abroad with the military, but a minority did not. Some of the minorities regrets;

Affordable living spaces abroad can be smaller...a lot of our furniture overwhelms their living spaces. Many had to dispose of their US furniture (mainly bedroom and living/family room furniture) and downsize. I did a lot of shipping of employees and then bringing them back at the contact end. Comparing their inventories for both moves, they disposed a lot of the items they brought over.

They shipped their cars which couldn't be adequately serviced where they transferred to. As an aside, we had a retired military family that transferred to a small village in Germany. They insisted they ship their Hummer2...lousy gas mileage and narrow streets? Really???

If anyone needs anymore insight, please feel free to PM me.
