Hi all

Well it is now 2 weeks until myself, the kids and the kittys fly to Calgary. I can't wait to get back together with my hubby as we have been apart for 7 months but I am getting so anxious about saying goodbye to everyone I'm not having 2nd thoughts at all as I have been waiting for this day for so long....just dreading the goodbyes and tears, especially from my mum. Not sure if I am asking for any advice really, just needed to spill to you fellow peeps who know exactly what I'm feeling.

I know I am a selfish cow but I wish I could just sneak off without any drama but that isn't going to happen.

You must be feeling so torn... Not sure I can offer any advise but just am sending you my best wishes for that difficult time.
I've already emigrated once and left my Mum behind and now 20 years later I'm about to do it again!!
I would say just remember why you're doing it.
Good luck x

Hi good luck with everything you must be sooo excited to see your hubby. The goodbyes were very hard but think of them more as see you laters than goodbyes as you are only a plane ride away. Hope everything goes good for you and you and your hubby have a fantastic reunion

Hi there,

I just want to say good luck and i'm sure it is difficult, but remind everyone of the cheap holidays (That's what my sisters did when they moved to the U.S!)

All the best with your new life.

Dreams and reality are often very different things. Good luck with the move

Hiya - know how you feel - we're moving next Wednesday and it is daunting but exciting at the same time!! Good luck with your move!!

If you want to cut down on the stress of goodbyes don't allow anyone to go to the airport with you. Say your goodbyes the previous day/evening.

Totally agree! We couldn't be doing with saying goodbye at the airport so did them all by the day before. We were staying at my sisters and it didn't feel quite so bad saying goodbye to people there. Once we got to the airport, we were on such a high, so excited! Wishing you all the best; I'm sure you'll love it over here.

Thanks for the wise words and good wishes peeps

Auld, I so agree with you, my FIL is taking me to the aiport and I banned everyone else! When some members of my family protested, I just reminded them that my 2 children would be basket cases after the drama queens in my family had finished wailing

Sorry I forgot to say thanks Shamrock....I bought my mum a webcam and set her up on Skype so that has helped...although she did say she couldnt hug us on Skype!

This is just as well for all concerned.

I agee this is the best way....when I first left, my sister bro in law and little nephew were at the airport with me, waving goodbye to them thro passport control was not a plesant experience. However when I went for a visit earlier this year I said my goodbyes at my sisters house.....it was sad, but not as bad as the airport, plus the returning to Canada is not like leaving for the first time, if I had the chance again I dont think Id say my good byes at the airport.....not nice!
