I feel in order to get home sick when you leave don't you first have to feel at home in the place your living !!!! .....

I do understand what your saying, but you also must understand that we don't all feel this way about our life as it is now.....
Hi Lillymist

What I'm talking about isnt Home Sickness - I've never felt that and hope to god I never do. What you cant even begin to imagine (until you've made the move) is that when you move overseas EVERYTHING around you is alien - EVERYTHING! Even the hardest Expat who hated everything about the UK struggles with that a little. It takes time for your new surroundings to feel FAMILIAR - not homesickness - just familiarity.

When are you hoping to move over? Do you have a Visa yet?

Take care
