Canada here we come!
Well only one more sleep then we're flying off to our new life in Calgary.
It's 6.30am and I can't sleep and am going through such a swing of emotions! Both Nige and I have been regular visitors to the BE site and have been often read peoples posts as they were on their final countdown but nothing prepared me for the mix of excitment, sadness and nerves that we've been going through and how much of a blur the last two weeks have been.
Compared to most I think so far we had it fairly easy as we are going out on BUNAC 12 month working holiday Visas with the intention of applying for PR asap and even though we have been talking about our move since June 08 we only applied this year for the visas. Apart from me having a few issues/delays trying sort out my nursing registration in Alberta things haven't been too bad (I hope I'm not tempting fate now!!!)
and I really can't believe that on less than 36 hours we'll be on a plane bound for our new life!!!
Anyway now I have vented a bit of my nervous energy I shall get a cuppa and double check my to-do list as we are off down to a hotel at heathrow tonight ready for tomorrow.
Will keep you posted

Hi Sophie
Know how you feel as it's only 3 months since we were in the same situation. Once you are on that plane you can relax and enjoy the start of your new life.
