The Wobbles

[andi,allen]

Just want to say i admire every one who has made the move to Oz.

We fly out on Monday , this week is hard even though we have return flights in Oct, for a short visit, i am starting to feel very sad

Thinking of the reasons why we want to go helps but boy this is hard .

Hi all,
such a mix of emotions - good to luck to you all espec those who are due to fly out to oz in the next few weeks.
all the tears and goodbyes and promises of keeping in touch etc can never prepare you for how you will feel once you land in oz, for me the hardest part was really after the goodbyes and as the plane started to hurttle down the runway for take off - i sobbed & sobbed, that for me was the final goodbye to what i was leaving behind as i had no control and coudnt run back - my life was in the hands on the pilot and his destination.(does that make sense) To start with you will be so busy with new home new job meeting new peeps etc etc - give yourselves plenty of time to settle the emotions and guilt do get eaiser as time passes, and at the end of the day home is only a flight away of oz is not for you
Keep ya chins up & good luck

Good luck from me too to all those starting out on their adventure. I've posted before that I spent 2 weeks in tears, goodbyes I thought I could handle surprised me by being terribly difficult. I had lunch with my colleagues from work and practically cried the whole way through it - and for hours when I got home, and I couldn't read their card for days - I think that's when it probably hit me that I'd given up work and would be going!! It all went down hill from their i'm afraid, seeing the children say their goodbyes, goodbye to family and close friends - be prepared it is a very bitter sweet moment, buy plenty of tissues...... but it is worth it
