Re: Does going home get easier?
I have just been home to england for the 1st time since we moved here 2 years ago as a close friend of ours died....it was great to catch up with family and friends now we are back i've got that horrible home sick-have we done the right thing feeling again. Has anyone any thoughts on this? Does it happen everytime you visit?
I am off on a similar quest tomorrow
However, my point is... I dont actually think of England as home, and I never consciously stop myself from accidentally calling it home, because for me.. this is home.
I really do not want to return, and am not looking forward to it, in any capacity, irrespective of the reason's for the visit.
Hope your 'pangs' wain
good luck Ste

Re: Does going home get easier?
Well my Christmas trip was in the planning - but had a phone call last night and my mum is coming out! That means I spend till October asking her if she has booked only to find out she has done nothing and may turn up next May 09!
So on the bright side that means I get to persuade hubby I will need to travel July August home to see sister.
Quoll - I agree, my dash off the plan in Heathrow is the fastest I move! Have even managed to persuade sister to take me to Tescos at 6am. I know it is not everyones cup of tea but wheeling round my new niece at 6.30 round the aisles I was crying my eyes out!
And I had egg and cress sandwiches for tea!

Re: Does going home get easier?
I've got a trip back in June (no I'm not going with Vim 
) and am already looking forward to coming back home after.When people think of here as being home..as we do, because it is ...then any trips back to the UK will be seen in the context of visiting family and friends.
Then they can return home, and get on with their lives.
