Environment
The first few years in any new country are by far the hardest...it takes this amount of time to build up enough knowledge of the local areas, customs, people to make your new environment feel like 'home'.
It also takes a significant investment and effort on your part to find true acceptance and getting to the stage where you really feel you 'belong' in the community. It will take time, effort and above all perseverance.

Expectation versus Reality
Returning to live in Grenada won't necessarily 'fix' your life - if you do move you won't escape your history, who you are, the day to day grind and you may not necessarily improve your quality of life! So make sure you have realistic expectations of your new life before you go and know that living in Grenada will be very different to holidaying here.
Yes your new life can offer you so much more...but just make sure your expectations can match the reality and remember the saying -- life isn't necessarily a beach just because you live beside one!

Health & Wellbeing
One of the saddest reasons some people give when giving up their dream of a new life in the Spice Isles is health and wellbeing. The trap is the price, availability and quality of health care in their 'new' country. You need to consider the health care facilities, long term and respite care for all your family and just don't bury your head in the sand! If you consider the worst case scenario and plan against it, chances are you will be prepared for everything and will survive.
