We visited Ireland last month for the first time and fell in love with the place and the people. CTA makes it an easy move abroad. A nice house on a big secluded plot with coastal views can be had for very little. It's gone to the top of my retirement list.

I know it can be a cliche, but you have to reconcile yourself to the weather. Unimportant for some, but a key factor for many, me included. Obviously you can find micro-climates but it can be very wet!
