Absolutely will not make light of anyone's "fear" of leaving friends and family behind. That is a big change and you will have to work that out. I think the best idea given here is to do a three or four month rental, then go back "home" and see how much you miss TV. Then repeat the rental. You might find that your friends and family like seeing you but you like the life style here in TV enough to stay longer each visit. Good luck in your journey to where every you wind up.

Makes sense to me !
