Holiday Feeling???
Well under 2 weeks to go till we move to Cairns, almost everything is done, but i still feel like it's just a holiday and not a permanent move. Is this normal?? When does it stop feeling like a holiday??

Re: Holiday Feeling???
TBH I still feel like I'm on holiday and that it will be over soon and I'll be going home! Am very settled here and love it but it feels like well- being on holiday! Have no intentions of going back and hope I will always feel like this. Been here a year so understand that this may be the 'honeymmon' period and I might feel different in the future.
Good luck with your new life and hope things go well for you - enjoy!

We move in 6 weeks and even though we have no home and have had to cancel everything, when thinking of what I am going to pack I can't get out of 2 week holiday packing, clothes etc. I have to take the b....dy lot!!! HELP! :scared:

I have a friend who moved to South Africa a long time ago (before the troubles) and she said she felt like she was on holiday for about 5 years

Re: Holiday Feeling???
I keep coming out with the line "I haven't come on holiday to (do whatever)" , but it DOES feel like holiday still. Only 7 weeks for us, but it REALLY does!
Kids have both said recently they feel like they're on holiday, but with school and we have friends out here that have been here over 2 years now and they too say they wake every now and then and wonder is it all a dream!
It's just Australia and what a wonderful place to be I say! ...

I have been looking for a job (fruitlessly) ever since we landed, and the fact that I'm not doing anything has made it feel that much more like a holiday! But I think as soon as I have started work things will become a little more normal and a little less holiday-like! I'll still be going down the beach when I can though, so it's all infinitely better than the UK!
