Hey Andy - This is par for the course, its step 7 or something ;-)

The anxiety you go through in the last 7 days before getting on the plane is far far greater than the 7 mths beforehand, then about 24 hrs before it turns into that holiday excitement and its all fun from there on in.

G'day Andy!

Jeepers creepers! Reading your post was like being on a rollercoaster! :scared: So many worries! Try to chill out! You are thinking too hard about 'what-ifs'! You have to just go with the flow at this stage and come to Australia with an 'open mind'.

It will be worth it - only a few people out of hundreds go back (no corrections plse)! These thoughts go through almost everybodys mind taking the 'big step' to emigrate to another country - but at the end of the day - it takes a hell of a lot of effort, planning, soul searching to get to the stage you are already at - so it is time to CHILL OUT and STAY COOL

Try to start enjoying the experience - you are one of the lucky ones to have sold your house! So come on stop that worrying

Good luck for your new life in Australia - you'll be fine m8!

Take care

It's the things that you don't do that you end up regretting most! Give it a go, and if it doesn't work out for you, then so what. At least you tried it. It may well be the best move you ever made. There's only one way you're going to find out...

All the best to ya....

I know I got anxious before we went as well. Good luck you will be fine. I reckon you have the right attitude, see it as a big adventure.

I am sure you will bw fine. I was so excited before we came but on about our 3rd night here I had this overwhelming feeling of "what have I done!!." This soon passed though and we are settling well.
You are bound to be nervous at some point, I wish you well in your adventure.

I know what you mean our visa application has been going on for over 3 years and now our house sale is due to be completed on 24th July. I am trying to stay positive but i cant help feeling sad.At times i struggle to see why we are doing it. We will go now and i think it is normal to feel this way as it is such a huge unsettlement, so keep feeling positive because at least you will have given it a go and for that you will have no regrets, Tracey
