I had a friend who recently asked me how I knew that the time was right to make the move to Portugal. "How do you know it is the right time?  Aren't you afraid?" she asked. I told her that it was like when you were 10 years old and were on the diving board, higher up than you'd ever imagined. You were  at the end of the pool and tentatively peered over the board into the deep end.   It was, it is, like that. Of course it is frightening. The thing is, sometimes you realize that the time is finally right to take the plunge. Maybe too deep, but definitely worth the plunge.

 The stars have aligned and it is finally time. A little bit anxious, but a lot happy. Purchased my one way ticket to Portugal this week and leased my flat. Am relocating to Porto, Portugal at the end of June next year.
