Thanks for the reply Carole,

The re-qualifying has been difficult, had to learn the WHOLE DAMN DEGREE AGAIN! How does organic chemistry and physics help in everyday situations in a community pharmacy?! But mayber that is why only people who really want to move make it and says volumes about the level of training in Canada- only a 12 week internship to go I can not believe anyone would make the move first!

Where in the UK are you from and anything you really miss?
I am a little worried about moving without rented accomodation sorted but that seems to be the way things are done. It is beggining to sink in that after all the hard work and waiting we are eventually on our way - a little sad too - so many places in Europe I have never been to and they will be difficult to visit now! And you really appreciate the friends and family who live 'just round the corner' that you never find time to see.....
