Did the change in weather not upset you? LA's winters are mild at worst, I think that'd be the biggest hurdle for me.

I hated summer in Los Angeles and remember running the aircon in February thinking "I need to get the hell out of here".

January is rough but overall I prefer Irish weather.

Winter in Ireland are wet and dark, but they're not actually all that cold compared to anywhere in the northern US

That sounds pretty nice. I hate unfiltered sun.
