We're going home!
We booked our flights back home to Australia! I'm so excited! I can't wait to see our family and friends! I will be sad to say goodbye to Spain but we are so homesick now.

I hope you'll be very happy.
I hope you don't mind me saying this, but it's not altogether unexpected - you did seem very impulsive - right from your decision to come to spain, to deciding within a couple of days that seville wasn't for you and moving on to the next place that you really fell for.
Still you've tried it, you followed your dream and I hope the next stage works out for you.
(I'm assuming from "say goodbye to spain" that you're talking about going home for good, not just a visit?)

Re: We're going home!
Agree, fairly predictable. (assuming the same as you!) Not sure what it is, but seen it happen so many times, you get a sort of feeling for who will stay and who will go. Got another one down to go, but might have to wait a while for them!

Hope everything goes well for your new venture.
Are we going to run a book on who's next?

Personally I'd say that with just a few winter months spent here you really should stay and see it at its best! Your homesickness might vanish once spring arrives.
But at least make sure you see Carnival in Cadiz before you go.

Re: We're going home!
It's not just homesickness that is sending us back, our lease runs out in March and we have a house and whole life to take care of back in Australia, we never planned on staying here longer than 5 months. We will hopefully come back again one day, after we have kids. We're at a time in our lives right now that we want to share with family and friends.

Have a good trip back and have a Vegimite sandwich for me.

Re: We're going home!
Thanks, we also can't possibly afford to live here long term at the moment, I need to go back home and start working again! It has been lovely though and we're so glad we did it. We just really can't wait to see our family and friends though, Australia is very far away and we have a very close family plus my best friend has a debilitiating disease so 18 months is a very long time for us to have been away.

Re: We're going home!
I still don't really understand where this 'observation' actually came from though? Since I joined this forum I have always said that we were just over here for a few months before we head back to Australia, we were never here to 'set up home' or anything. We own a house back in Australia which is being looked after by a family member, with our cats and all of our possessions in it, plus my husband works for an Australian company and needs to go back to work on new deadlines. I don't see how that is impulsive as we have just done what we planned to do and now we have to go home?

Re: We're going home!
You made it perfectly clear from your first posts that you were only in Spain for a few months. I can feel your excitement at returning home from here It will be great to be back with family and friends, and what a lot you will have to tell them Well done to you both for doing what you wanted i.e. travelling and experiencing different cultures before settling down and starting a family. Enjoy life, have fun and safe journey home
