I spent 15 years living and working overseas. Loved it but there came a time when I realized that my job potential was much stronger back home. Moved back to CONUS and lucky for me I was right and doing very well within 6 months of arriving.
Been here just over 11 years now and still enjoy being "back home" but working around the world on a contract basis doing 1-3 months out on the road, then returning home for 1-3 months time off. On the verge of retiring but still working part time overseas because the work is so much fun and pay is good.
Ever thought of trying New Zealand or Australia doing the same job? Have a family member who has done that for years and loves it.
Another thing to consider is returning home to spend some time with Mom and Dad. They are getting up there and last thing you want is for one or both of them to pass and your then thinking that you should have spent more time with them while you could have.
