Subject: Re: Hoping for the longest possible answer from Jim

My wife and I are Alaska residents, funnily enough, so I can absolutely understand fleeing those Canadian winters. We spend a hair under six months each year in the California desert.

I was not aware that Americans can't have a local bank account in Europe. If I may ask, are you citizens of Monaco, or residents?

My expat fantasies are long on chaises longues and short on financial ramifications.
