I on the other hand am not like your hubby and it has taken me a long time to come round to the idea, only really changing since I have had the children and that is when I thought I could give it a go. We have come to the conclusion that if we don't do it now we will never know and we don't want to be looking back in 10 years time thinking, well it's too late now to try.

The more I think about it the more I find myself coming around to the idea. My main stumbling block is my Dad. He had major heart surgery last year and if me and my brother both went he would be on his own with just my step mum. I phoned my mum tonight (she moved to Turkey 5 years ago aged 58!!) and she told me how she felt when she left her parents but also thought that if we mentioned it to Dad he would be tempted to go too.
My Mum is full of encouragement as she doesn't regret her descision to emigrate all those years ago and has already checked out flights from Istanbul to Perth!! So tonight I have been righting a list of "FOR" and "AGAINST" both are equal but I must admit that the "FOR"'s are starting to look better. It is all soooooo scary.
