Default Moving in 3 weeks - is it normal to have 2nd thoughts?

I now have my moving date, 17th April, to Melbourne.

Brand new job all waiting for me. Family following shortly afterwards.

Just had a wash of 2nd thoughts fill my mind, please tell me this is normal?!?!

That's normal. You might also get a 'what the hell am I doing feeling' when you land. Fortunately for me this feeling was gone in a couple of days.

Not sure if you know this but there's a big 5-day holiday the week after you land. Hope this doesn't interfere with your settling in plans.

It's perfectly normal to have second thoughts for years afterwards

Good luck with the move

Completely normal, it is a huge move. In fact, I would think it slightly abnormal not to have a moment of doubt!

Good luck, you'll be fine

Thanks guys. I really struggled over the weekend just worrying about everything. And the laugh is I did this all 3 yrs ago!! I should be used to it.

Im really keen to see if the city has changed in 3 yrs. I was watching lots of videos last night from my time there and it just reminded me how much I love the place.

Happy to say I am stoked to be going and very much looking forward to it.
