Well, its (mostly) official. I'll be transferring to the UK branch of my company and working out of London beginning in May. In an interesting twist of fate, my wife will be switching jobs and moving to Uganda for a year. We're both very excited about our opportunities for living abroad. They are both going to be great moves for us individually, and I believe that our marriage will become stronger for the experience. You can follow her exploits on her own blog (note the great naming convention).
Things had started off slowly, after initial discussions about 2 months ago, everything started accelerating very quickly in the past week or so.
I'll be going across the pond in mid-May for an initial period (maybe 2 weeks or so) to search for a flat and get started on a new project. Then hopefully I'll have some time to come back and finalize the storage/moving/etc of all of the stuff I'll need.
The plan is to find a furnished studio or one bedroom flat in the city (so I don't need a car). That way I can also avoid bringing any heavy furniture and instead store all of the furniture I have now.
I've been doing some research about other Americans moving to London, and will post any insights into the process that I find are lacking out there on the interweb.
