Que Faire? To move or not to move...

Well, dear readers, I have to admit my heart has been a little heavy for almost a month now, and I know exactly why.
You see, I don't know quite what to do.

Upon my return to the Gold Coast, I have found that the 'Glitter Strip' (why this place is so called is totally beyond me, perhaps I should be nice and suggest it's because the ocean glitters in the sunshine, although we all know that is so not why...) has lost its sparkle in terms of property values.

This means that our house will sell for less than it would have done six months or a year ago, which is not good news for someone wishing to sell up, run away to another country and buy a house there. For another country, read France, in case you weren't sure... 

On the flip side, the aussie dollar is at pretty much an all time high and thrashing most other currencies, meaning the situation may balance out. 

So, do we pursue the dream and press on regardless, or play it safe and hang out on the GC Glitter Strip and wait for the next upturn? 

In other words, comparing like with like, do we swap this....

for this.....

or this.....

or this.....

or even this.....???

What do you think we should do? Any landslide opinons shall carry the day, and the final decision shall be binding. For better or for worse!!
