I had that feeling for 6 months before we were moving permanently to Cyprus. The days just couldn't go quick enough for me...

It wasn't helped by the fact that a job I'd loved doing for 8 years had changed in the last 18 months and it was no longer fun.

Once I got down to the last 2 or 3 weeks though, things definitely got better for me as I really didn't give a toss at that stage.

Sorry, can't give you any tips now as it's too long ago for me to recall what I did to alleviate the feeling as it's over 9 years since I left UK.

Ah thank you, least im not the only one who feels like this!

But deffo agree about the job thing, just have no interest now, have this weekend coming, and 2 more then im gone!

I'm terrible for booking a holiday & then changing my mind from where I've booked! I keep dithering about have I made the right decision. Your circumstances are different and I'm sure you just can't wait to start your new adventure. Just keep yourself busy with organising your stuff and I'm sure the time will fly by

I feel nervous before I go away?

I'm glad I am not the only one that feels like that Glynis. I think it is why I now leave it close to the date I wish to travel to book, it saves all that in-between time of soul searching and have I booked the right thing etc

Maybe it is just the waiting getting to you hollyrachyx, 19 days isn't that long now it will soon be here.

Oh I know you are like that Glynis

I usually feel down when I have to come home, it is always particulalry bad when I have to leave Malta.

Holly just look at this as another chapter in your life, many people would love the chance to be doing what you are going to do so you go out to Fuerteventura and live that dream

I cant wait to book holidays and look forward to going but always feel a bit down a week or so before travelling.

I'm always nervous too in case something happens & I have to cancel

Part of it also for hollyrachyx is the uncertainty and probably a little trepidation in leaving something familiar behind as this isn't just a holiday for her and her partner.

I do remember the feeling a little. On one hand there's the excitement of going somewhere new and the start of a new life as well as the challenge and on the other, leaving the safety net of what you've become used to and are comfortable with.

At least they will be going to be with family (on one side anyway) who will be able to show them the ropes of living overseas.

We've never looked back and have thoroughly enjoyed our time since we left UK in March 2004.

All I can say to you is enjoy your new life and take each day as it comes. Be aware that foreign bureaucracy can be a right royal pain in the backside - just smile, say please and thank you, never lose your temper but be forceful when necessary and you will get through it.

Thank you everyone!!

I think your right lol!

Just hope it goes ok!!

Ill keep you updated!!
