... Other people have done similar and managed to visit 52 states in the time
Damn impressive! Especially as there are only 50 states in the US! 😀

Mar a Lago and Alcatraz are the other two!
A friend has done pretty much exactly the same thing with my place and moved to Florida. His thinking was that the kids were young enough to make it work (not having to take them out of school at a key moment) and that it would help his career when he got his green card. He's probably right given how good he is at his job.
I'd say go for it if you have health insurance included and a uK holiday allowance. Living in another culture can only give you a better appreciation of the world.

And from the other US related thread at the moment, get your kids guns for school
and make sure you don't disrespect that flag

Living somewhere is different to visiting, I worked in Dallas for a year and it became very ordinary very quickly and I saw more of the US in the two weeks holiday I had while I was there, but I'm glad I did it.
Regret things you do, not the things you don't.
Do you really want to be on your deathbed in 40 years thinking wistfully, "remember that time we could've spent a couple of years in another country...?" Two years is a flap of a butterfly's wing in the grand scheme of things (and if you hate it you can come back), start packing.
