Re: At airport and terrified lol
Well, its 7.40am, hubby has gone to drop animals at the cargo centre and I'm sat in the hotel room waiting for him to come back so we can go check in at T1. To say im cr*pping myself is a slight understatement. yesterday was a blurr, shppers arrived and my house was emptied - most stuff went in but had to leave a fewbits behind - oh well!!
Goodbyes were AWFUL - its not been easy anyway as my mum and sister have been really stroppy with me for going - my Mum has been VERY upset about the whole thing and i really think she thought if she cried enough over the last few weeks I would change my mind. I have hardly seen her as she has been avoiding me like the plague and when I have seen here she has burst into tears - its been very hard. Myself and hubby have coped pretty much on our own, no help from either side of our family at all. ( not even little stuff on the last day like milk or help cleaning etc). yesterday I felt like the worst person on earth and it made it so much harde to do what we are doing
So im sat here at the airport - my tummy is doing a million summersaults my legs wobble when i stand up and i feel like running away
Luckily im sure I have read posts on here where people have felt last minute panic as they are getting ready to fly over - we have a very long day ahead of us with 2 kids and 4 animals - so for now i'll sign off and hopefully see you all at the other side - and I'll be feeling much better.

Where abouts in Vancouver Island are you moving too? Abit of a difference to Blackpool.. hey ?
No doubt the feelings you've had are totally natural, but am sure once settled your family and kiddies will love it
!!!All the best for the future.

Re: At airport and terrified lol
I was looking into this place a couple of months back. Seems like a beautiful place to live. 45mins from Victoria too which is good for a workbase.What do you guys do for a living? Have you been lucky to find work in the area, or do you need to travel into Victoria?

Well a couple years on and things couldn't be more different. We've just dropped the in-laws at the airport after a two week holiday, they love it here, and are already raving about coming back next year. MIL is so happy to see us settled and really understands why we moved here...
Get settled in and enjoy the adventure. Your family will come round to things when they work out that they've got a free place to crash in Canada

Re: At airport and terrified lol
I am sorry your family are not being supportive over this. FWISW my Inlaws (Hubby's family) refused to have any contact with us after they found out that we really planned to go through with emigrating. They were "off" with us after we told them we had applied, but once they found out taht we had the Visas and had put the house on the market they refused to speak to us at all.
I think last minute jitters are a perfectly normal reaction, as is feeling a little upset.
Good luck.....
