Yikes! Shipping can really stink sometimes! For such a beautiful set maybe you'd find someone willing to pay that? Especially if you're willing to sell it for cheaper. Or I'd try local.

Sorry guys I forgot the date! It's Saturday the 18th. You're welcome to come for the whole time we're there or just stop in for a little bit!
LadyMoondancer, if you can get to Duvall or Fall City on a bus there is a special public bus (snoqualmie valley transport) that goes to Carnation from those places

Aussie and UK ponies, I need some help! So I live in the US, and my husband was just accepted into a program through his work that gives him the opportunity to work in an international office for a couple years! It's pretty for sure we are heading somewhere next spring to summer, we just don't know where yet! I'm wondering if you wonderful pony peeps would be able to help me out with a little info to help us figure out where we will be able to afford to live and such. The areas his work has offices in that we are looking into are London, Sydney, and Melbourne. If you don't mind sharing, how much does your family spend on food each month (we are a family of 6: 2 grown ups and 4 younger kids) Also, what school districts (elementary schools) and/or neighborhoods would you recommend to be in that are good for kids, especially those with special needs? (My 9 year old son has High-Functioning Autism) We are trying to look into areas that are affordable but not too far away from the city where my hubby would be working. I would love to be more in a suburb (I'm a country girl, not having some kind of a yard would be hard for me!!!), I'm assuming it's a little cheaper to live in the suburbs too, but city living is not totally out of the picture I suppose (my hubby would like to not have to get a car apparently, and he is very much a city boy). Thank you in advance!! Any info would be much appreciated! I am super excited for this opportunity! It would be fun if I ended up next to some pony people!

So there's a button making shop in my town that just started offering tshirt printing and are running a promo for $10 a shirt if we can get an order of 10 or more! Would anyone be interested in ordering a pony meet shirt?? I'll cross post in the Facebook group too.

Oh my goodness you guys are being so helpful!  Seriously, I love our forum, I asked sound some Facebook friends and did not get even close to the amount of responses as here  (Says she, helpfully, having spent a long and tiring day at work trying to calm down a high functioning autistic teenager distressed at a weekend incident involving an Ipad and his younger brother's head, distress manifesting as 'Streetfighter' moves and an obsession with mentioning the word 'KOALA!' in a loud voice throughout all lessons!)
Lol, this made me smile. Last fall my son would randomly start singing "Let it Go" in class all the time, or the ABCs. Right now he's in public school in a general ed class with an aid that comes in to help with some subjects. We also have a behavior therapy that comes after school to work with him and that has been huge. What he's into varies, mostly it's letters and numbers, math, and most recently the planets. He's one that is really hard to get interested in something that's not his idea. I'll have to ask my hubby where in England it might be. I asked him about Australia and more there only place I can remember he said is Melbourne. Sydney was probably one of them. I know they're is an office in London because he worked there for two weeks last fall (the longest two weeks of my life lol).

Thank you for all the advice so far! I am definitely leaning toward an English speaking country. I personally would love to go to Australia, I love the animals there, but I also would love England because of all the history there. It's good to know Australia has a good education system. I know healthcare and insurance is also going to play a part in it.
If anyone has anything else they can share I appreciate it!!

So my husband has the opportunity to possibly work abroad for one or two years and my kids and I would go with him of course. It is a really exciting thing and kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity type thing that I know would be a great experience for my family, but as a mom I am a little terrified of the prospect of going to a different country with little kids and knowing how to keep everyone safe. Also my oldest son who is 8 has high functioning autism, so we are not exactly your typical family.
I am wondering if I can get some advice from those of you who live or have lived in the countries we might be able to go to, maybe how kid friendly traveling there is, or areas that are better to live in with kids (good schools, safe neighborhoods, etc), areas that are more affordable to live in (I have four kiddos!), and if anyone can share how you feel your area's autism/special needs support is, it would really help me know if this is something we can seriously consider or not! The biggest thing for me is my autistic soon and if we would be able to continue to get support for him. We've been trying to search for info online and not really finding anything super helpful.
The countries were would probably consider and my husband's company has offices in are England, Australia, Sweden, Scotland, and maybe Paris if we could afford it. I know there are lots of pony friends in those countries. Thank you in advance for your help!!

The library only books out rooms three months in advance, but we've never had a problem getting it in the past. But if you are wanting to be sure I would wait until then.
