OzyOS good luck.
Just would like to wish you the very best of luck. I really hope it's going to work out well for you. As I've mentioned before, my daughter had her good and bad days, but even at her low points i know she wouldn't come home until she'd given it al least 6 months. At the moment it's a very good time for her(she's in Brisbane as we speak) and even though you might get a few not so good flights, the good ones do happen as well!
Have a safe flight, try not to get too upset(I know just how your family is feeling), and if you ever bump into my daughter please say hi!
Lots of luck,
mother hen.
