@arosano I'm leaning that way, with a strong feeling that TLV implies Aliyah and then... I know that I won't want to leave, and I do not like returning to the USA any time I've had to do so.
@mrhamel It may sound .. unlikely, but when I last went through customs at IAH there was a stabbing feeling followed by throbbing migraine, originating directly where the brain tumor was later found via MRI. Turns out that the neurology of sustained unhappiness (reduced dopamine transport/receptor activation) makes this type of tumour grow larger... how very coincidental.
Surely, the LIR route would see a return to peaceful cloud forests and long stretches of empty beaches on the rainy season drive to Mal Pais - but there are complex emptions wrapped up in my love for Costa Rica which perhaps are best left to the past.
I'm not sure. Perhaps a decision will be made without explicit efforts towards one direction or the other.
