Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it.

Oh wow congratulations. All the best from us left behind! I can't imagine the undertaking to get out and give everyone who has ever emigrated props.
I wish I could take everyone with me!
Wow, 1st class, I didn't realize out of context comics paid so well! :)
I'm really impressed with how quickly you've made such a huge life change, that takes some serious courage for you and your family. I would love to follow along behind you, but have no path for it, so I'll have to stick things out and hope for the best (or not worst) here.

Welcome! Hopefully once you're settled you'll be able to find a local pub that does a good sunday roast

I wish you the best here across the pond. ;)
America is a shithole. I got out in '17 and my quality of life has improved tenfold.
Feel free to not answer because this is identifiable info. However, how did you emigrate? Where to? Did you have a family with you or just yourself?
Admittedly, while I think America is a shit hole as well, It's got to get pretty bad before I'll be able to convince my wife. However, I'm trying to plan out our escape plan.

Welcome! You must be hungry after the long trip. Here's a plate of beige, enjoy!
Ah awesome, I was only thinking about you both the other evening and wondered how you were doing.
I hope everything is going well so far.
I'll tell you when I'm less exhausted myself.
Hey, no crabs are allowed to leave this bucket!
How is the teenager taking it, apart from sleeping on luggage? With leaving behind friends and all that?
She has been an amazing trooper. Other than a breakdown after a really stressful situation where we missed the first train, then got on the wrong train a second time and had to climb up and back down a ton of stairs with our suitcases (understandable at that point) she has really made me proud of her. Especially considering how hard it is for autistic kids dealing with change. We’ll see how she fares tomorrow.
