Some clarifications:
No, this isn't a fantasy trip, you have to up and move with whatever cash you've saved, whatever skills you have and start a new life. The only fantastic part about it is that regardless of your age or skills any country will welcome you. In reality, most countries don't want you unless you can provide a much needed skill, or are young enough to be useful to your new country. Most countries aren't really open to 50 year old dishwashers immigrating.

And lamplighter, while I agree that listening to the news gives one a truly distorted view of what is really going on, I'm betting you are not looking for work right now and have a fairly reliable job or retirement provisions. The county I live in was recently chastised by Appalachia for being unfairly compared to it. As it happens, Appalachia's standard of living is much greater than Washington County's.

And that is one of the things Glatt point to. The tourist experience is not at all like living somewhere, particularly if you have to earn a living and negotiate their laws.

wow, way to be a total buzz kill. I guess that limits my options then to moving to a different county in northern WI, away from all the familiar freaks but surrounded by similar ones, where my physical condition would almost guarantee me 3rd shift janitorial work at the company of my choosing.

Other wise I'd take my savings, supplemented with a 2 month high risk high reward crime spree, and move to the place where they filmed the Shire, I'd buy all the hobbit houses, and live there, alone.
