Am I wierd!
 
We are leaving on Monday to go to Townsville and something strange is going on with me. I can't cry:huh:. We have had our big leaving do where I said goodbye to close friends and family - nothing. I didn't even fill up. I thought I would be a blubbering wreck by now. You see threads on here all the time with people saying how hard it all is and emotionally draining but with just a few days left i'm still waiting for that rush of emotion.

Thing is I don't feel anything really. I'm not happy, sad, scared, worried etc. I'm starting to really worry that I'll be sat on the plane and go into melt down:ohmy:

I just wondered if anyone else reacted like this or am I indeed wierd?

Nah, that's just as normal as sobbing your way to the airport. I was like that, totally calm whilst watching those around me disintegrate.:thumbsup: I did have a five minute cry the first night here but that's it.

Each to their own Jules. It would be a sad world if we were all the same. Take it as it comes.:thumbup:

yup. i am a bit the same, its my last week at work and colleagues are concerned as i'm 'too quiet' and basically acting as normal.
don't know how i will be at our leaving do, but certainly no sleepless nights or tears so far.

btw - we will be arriving in Townsville on the 20th Sept

We emigrated to British Virgin islands in 2000 & I have to admit to not crying buckets & can't imagine I'll be any different when we finally get to leave for Oz. Thought perhaps I was just a heartless b***h, but perhaps not:p
BTW, good luck & have a good trip!:D
