In England. We're not very close to our US family.

My wife is going over there for a month in September to sort a lot of
this out and look at a few more towns. We should hopefully be able to
get the DL, banking and a mailing address sorted out then.

Although she's worried about driving on the other side of the road. I
drove in England for the first time last summer, I plan on getting a
ridiculously small car when I live there. Driving a mid-sized crossover
on the wrong side of the road was harrowing.
