this is my first move overseas and I ran the gauntlet of crying because I was going to miss my sons, and being glad because I was going to a brand new place and be with my husband. I have to admit to having one major melt down here a week after landing but it was due to not being able to drive anywhere because I had no idea where I was!!! Best thing to do is go with an open mind and fresh eyes, not a negative attitude. If you go with a negative attitude, even if the place is close to heaven, you will not enjoy it. Make the best of where you are going, make your own fun and yes, you will miss your family but they are only a phone call away. Good luck to you hon....
