Well arrived home Dec 18th 2012. We are currently renting, have bought a new home, won't be ready until end of June. Can't wait:) 12 year old dog endured the flight from Toronto - Manchester very well and has settled. She was one of my main priorities :) My daughters have settled very nicely into their new lives, school is great and they are in lots of extra-curricular activities, for a small town, there is lots for them to be involved in. Hubby prefered his Canadian job, will i'm sure he'll settle more, over time - he loves where we live though. The view from the back of our new house is unbloked, hills, trees and sheep,(and only a 25 min drive to my beautiful Edinburgh) - a far cry from Canadian sub divisions. I will look for a part time job Jan 2014 once my eldest has settled into her 1st year of High school. All in all, good! best decision we made coming home - for now at least;) |

Good luck with your move and to you too Windsong!!! I wouldn't have put my pets through quarantine either. I would have stayed here with them. I am ever so grateful quarantine is not necessary now. I do still wish they could all (two little dogs and two cats) stay with me in the cabin of the plane, though ;) Actually, when I make the move, I might just sail because I have heard it's better for them. We will see :) |

Wouldn't mind if there were no blokes, as I am bringing mine, but glad to hear there are sheep :D |

How exciting :) Have a safe and wonderful trip...by my calculations you should nearly be in Newark :) That seems like an unreasonably LONG flight from LA to Newark (I'm presuming EWR is Newark, at least that's what I found when I did a search on airport codes. LOL )

Re: The 'Bon Voyage' Thread! - Flight Tracker!
Hey you guys, thanks SO much for cheerleading our journey!!!
All the support just makes my heart happy.:D As some of you know, my husband is a recent quadriplegic and just 3 months to the day since discharge from hospital. The longest he has been out of bed at one time prior to this, has been 9 hours, he gets really uncomfortable as he can't move and shift position to relieve pressure as you and I do without even thinking about it. From the time I got him up in LA, and packed his special air mattress, until I had it set up at home here, he had been out of bed for 25 hours. He was such a trouper and I'm so proud of him.:) The kitties were little troupers too and so happy to see us that they are not at all turning the cold shoulder to me which I had fully expected! I've been home a lot myself in the last few years to stay with dad who's 92 now and perhaps the biggest reason for us making the move as we did but it still hasn't sunk in yet that I'm here for good and I don't have to rush to get everything done before I have to leave again, I can just get on with living now, here, at HOME.:heart: :thumbsup: |
