Default Nearly there....So Nervous...So Happy!

Well we have only 5 weeks to go until we move from Sunny Glasgow to sunnier Ontario, just handed in our notice periods, sold the house, opened bank account and now staying with the inlaws. No jobs to go to but hopefully someone over there will want a decent Ops manager or a lovely Pharmacy Technician.
We are so happy (Even the kids) but how nervous are we?? anyone the same or have been just like this? We have more butterflys than a valley of buttercups!!

Enjoy the rollercoaster ride, mad panic then a lull, theres plently more to come, make the most of the rest now its manic when you land.
Good Luck and enjoy

It's normal to be nervous ..... or even terrified!

It sure is a big decision. Good luck!

Awww, sounds pretty normal to me! Good luck, I'm sure you'll manage to get jobs OK.

Oh, and about the time you come here, I shall be in Glasgow - having a little sidetrip to Scotland when I go back to the UK. Never been there before, and I'm looking forward to it. Any suggestions for good pubs/restaurants?

We, family of 5 moved from Glasgow in Sep 06 and we are enjoying everything here, we have not regretted moving at all

Hope it all goes well when the time comes to land in Canada
