We too are off home in 2 days from New Zealand.
Had 9 months here and look forward to being home.
Scared, excited, worried, all at once, but sure it will be OK.

LOL - I feel exactly the same mate except I cannot even say that one exists. Having just returned from london and having things to do/people to meet with every night, it just makes me feel even more glum about residing here for the rest of our life.
Good luck to everyone on this thread that is returning - although you may be in a worse position finanacially at least you can look forward to the social life...

Hey Scottish good luck with your move mate. We are almost packed, then when our stuff is on its way we book our flights and were off. Walked through Hagly park today to meet the family after work and was a little sad, but then i remembered seeing the big log truck outside a neighbours house dropping off firewood. Then it all came flooding back....chopping wood in the rain, dragging it in the dark, waiting for the house to heat up, waking up in the morning with my ears hurting because they are frozen ( no kidding ) scraping out the fire before it lights, hoping the wood is not wet because of the wind and rain....etc etc etc. Then go to work and hope the house does not burn down. Aaahhhh the memories. :scared:

EXACTLY!!! My only regret is that I did not start this process of going home YEARS ago!
Best of luck to you all that are returning soon. Please let us know all the joys of being home. It gives us a bit of happiness while we await our return date.
