It's the final countdown.
Only 10 days left in Australia. Time to get emotional. Oh, hang on... I already am. But it's all good. Nothing to worry about. The being torn and being whole, the joy and the sorrow, the goodbyes and hellos, the love and the tears, the hope and the fears, the excitement and the worry, that tight feeling in my chest and the sparkle in my eyes, it's all part of it. They call it life, apparently.

It sounds like the *perfect* time to go dancing. Invite your best friends, take a camera.
Let someone else drive.
Stop for breakfast on the way home, share a tearful toast with them.

I agree with Seraphine.
Just drink it all in, as much as you can. Life happens so fast, once it gets going.
Take loads of pictures.

You can take the girl from Austrailia but you can't take the Austrailia from the girl.

Transition is not easy, but be so glad all your loved ones will be waiting for you in Zueri. I hope you have a safe trip.

I'm soooooooo excited for you ... the world is your oyster and the pearls are out there waiting to be discovered. Have LOADS of fun my friend, and ride that emotional rollercoaster for all it's highs and lows. It lets you know you are alive!

Maybe you can take a kangaroo with you?

Sera- That's pretty much what I did last Saturday. Only I was so emotional that the tearful toast was kind of omni-present... hahaha. I'm absolutely fine with my emotions though. I think it's nothing but natural.
Callie- I am, Callie, I am.
YSB- Beautifully said.
EM- Thank you. I can't wait to see them.
Aggs- I promise I will have loads of fun. And you can wear my pearl necklace sometime!
Chris- Not so sure what the Swiss customs officals would say about that.
SJ- The great thing is that I have no expectations. I don't want anything else from this trip other than to find out whether I could still live in Europe, and if I should. So no matter what the outcome is, it will be positive. If I love it and want to stay, great. I find out that Australia really is where I want to be, great. It's really a win-win situation.
