Good luck with the move and hope you settle in quickly. I think nerves are a normal part of this whole process, mine are in tatters.

I know what you mean, we are leaving 22nd / 23rd July for Brisbane and after years of waiting it is finally upon us and it kind of freaks you out a bit!

Good luck

Perfectly normal, the last few weeks can be a huge emotional rollercoaster.
Good luck to all who are about to set out on the adventure

We leave for Perth on July 2nd and feel exactly the same. Our house was packed up and shipped 2 weeks ago so we've basically been living like squatters in our own home for 2 weeks which hasn't helped. I never realised just how much I loved my sofas. Sitting on garden chairs for 2 weeks is no joke. Will be so glad to get back to some sort of normality at some point. Good luck everyone !

As you already know, we are on similar timeframes. Feel a bit in limbo at the mo. Want to get on with it but not going to book flights or shipping company until further down the line re the house sale.

Husbands boss said not to quit his job but to take a month out to see if we like it coz he doesn't want to lose him!!!! That was lovely of him but only adds to the 'what are we leaving behind?' scenario. I don't want him to change his mind at this late stage.
