I felt most lonely when we first moved overseas_comma_ my husband then had to travel out of *that* country for business -- AND I had a new baby! Congratulations! Where did you travel from and where did you end up? From Santa Fe to Hong Kong -- ultimately a fantastic adventure. And I ended up with a wonderful group of friends. Expats bond quickly! That must have been quite the culture shock_comma_ glad it all worked out though!
