I'm not desperately homesick yet, so I can hang on for another while before heading home for a ceilidh. Realistically to make it worth our while (cost/time etc) we'd have to aim for 2 - 3 weeks to go back home, but that will mean a significant chunk of our A/L allowance for next year.

Just curious about how often other expats get home and how you juggle your A/L situation?

We have been here 4 years and we are planning our first trip to the UK next June. We are going back for a month. My husband is saving every bit of annual leave for this year and next in order to do that. We are only going this time because I have inherited some money and can afford it. Once I leave next July I will not be returning again, ever.

I thought (before I moved out here) that I would probably go back to Europe to see people about every 2 years... now I am over here I currently really can't be arsed to go back.. don't feel like I need or want to.. :( Havent broken the news to my mother as of yet :ohmy:.. bet I cave in and go back anyway rather than face the wrath! ;)

Em x
