Moving to Uruguay! A few questions and brief introduction.

8 years ago

Hello everyone, my family and I I(mother, sister and children) intend on moving to Uruguay by the end of this year.
We are American citizens, ages 28 (self), 26(sis) and 52 (mom) with no police records. There are 3 cchildren between my sister and I. My 6 year old and her 2 and 7 year old.

Has anyone any advice for a smooth transition? We know the language is Spanish and we will be purchasing something like Rosetta stone to brush up for the remainder of the year until move date.

What are some things that you all wish you had known prior that could've made things less stressful/more enjoyable?
Where is the best to stay outside of the city? We'd prefer to live on the outskirts, though not too far from everything. We're actually looking to purchase a house just not within the city.

ANY advice and/or direction would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all so much. This is a really wonderful time/experience for us as a family and I'm happy to be able to share and communicate with you all.
