Yes we are but we're taking our time to get back - we leave Melbourne in a couple of weeks and we're driving to Perth, then flying via Singapore & Dubai to Istanbul and having a week in Turkey before arriving in UK at the end of July! Decided we needed a holiday before getting back to real life!

WOW, 2 years already! I'm hanging in, counting down the next 7 weeks until the day we get on the plane for my next trip (all 6 of us - DH, DS, DDIL and 2xDGDs!) to go to DS1's wedding! Bloody cold here though, sitting here in the study in my padded jacket at 6am!!!

Fantastic that you have a wedding and trip to the UK to look forward to, maybe this time you'll refuse to get on the return flight!

I'm about three months away from returning after 33 years in the US. House is sold, belongings shipped - now I have a few weeks to catch my breath, make goodbye visits and make final arrangements for the move back. What am I doing to myself?

Good for you Carol! I'm 4 weeks away from leaving. I've only been here 23 years and I know I'll have a LOT of adjusting to do when I get back I'm sure but I've made up my mind that no matter what it's my home and I'm going to have to love it warts and all!
