It breaks my heart

The house on Dunleer just wasn't too be. The fact that the house itself was a tear down wasn't so bad... but the incredible noise of a future COMMUTER TRAIN passing through the back yard on a daily basis every 15-30 minutes plus the traffic noise currently experienced was a deal killer.

I'm beginning to really like the Cheviot Hills/Rancho Park area. The schools within walking distance are good, the high school is the music magnet, the lots below Pico are large and homes are sized for larger families. At 5 PM on a weekend there were families in the front yards washing cars, riding bicycles down the sidewalk and tossing footballs. We haven't seen that in Bel-air.

Federal Express to Cyprus because the documents will not be in my hands before we fly there.  Even with the expeditors on both ends of the transaction, an FBI Background check can take 4 weeks. You cannot "save time" by having your background check sent directly to the expediter in Washington DC to be carried to the counter for the Apostille. They can't accept it. You need it sent to your attorney, who will forward it to you (or directly to the expediter), then to Washington, DC to the Department of State counter, then 3 -5 days later, back to the expediter and on to courier service. So TL;DR Start pro

So some things have changed...

It's been a lifetime since purchasing the dream house in Pacific Palisades and our family actually moved to the Bay Area fairly recently. We are on the road again- this time to sunny Cyprus (no not Orange County, CA) and two parents, three kids and two dogs are making the big overseas move. Our belongings are being compressed into a 20 ft container and we are going through our paperwork and checking it twice.  Here is what we were told: ·   All types of valid Visas: employment visa, visitor Visa, Schengen Visa, etc.   · University Diploma (It should be Apostilled in home country)   · CV in English – electronic format · Criminal Record (It should be Apostilled in home country)  · International Passport   · For married: Marriage Certificate (1 per couple – Apostille)   · For divorced: Divorce Certificate (Apostille).   Needed documents for Spouses   · All types of valid Visas: employment visa, visitor Visa, Schengen
