Hi everyone and thank you for welcoming me to this forum. I would like to introduce myself. My husband, two children and I reside in West Hartford, Connecticut in the United States and plan to relocate to Dundee, Scotland. My husband and I are both attorneys and my husband will be studying at University of Dundee and working on some projects from Dundee in the oil industry. I work for a financial services technology company. At this time, we anticipate moving in the Fall.  I have a 5 year old and a 12 year old. I need basic information about tips for relocating which probably has been posted before on this forum. Please provide any relevant advise with regards to materials I should read, other websites, any source of information that help with this transition. Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I will search the forum to find information that has been posted already regarding costs of living, schools, accommodations, neighborhoods, transportations, packing, clothing, healthcare, banking everyday life, pets, shopping, networking, etc. I will post more specific questions at a later time. I am very excited about this move and feel so fortunate to have this opportunity for my family. Thank you all.
Best,
Jennifer
