There is a time in every dream where it becomes a reality, that time was today. It looks like we will be heading off to Italy in the next thirty days or so. Now I could talk to you about lists and packing and what to take on the plane but all I can thing about right now is that we will have to say goodbye.

Speaking to my Mum a few nights ago, I told her don’t worry we’ll be down to see you soon and we’ll stay for a week and she replied “Yes but that’s because you’ll be leaving, I don’t want to think about that just yet.”

So soon it will be time to say goodbye to Family and friends, to the kids at school and all the mums I’ve gotten to know so well. For our daughter this will be a big wrench, she has a very special friend at school that she will miss so much.

And even though I don’t see my family as often as I’d like it helps to know we are in the same country and only a few hours away by plane. This time will be easier, we will have the internet and Skype, things have progressed since our last trip.

But my Mum…..she will be broken hearted and fighting like crazy to hide it!

There will be goodbyes and tears all round…
