All the suitcases are packed. We are now ready to go! One more day and its off. All the flights have been confirmed, taxis booked, sailing (From the Island) confirmed, but the weather is looking dodgy for Wednesday, hopefully it wont upset the ferry crossing.

I didn't realise how hard it would be to do the goodbyes. Lots of upset people and emotions truely shown over the last 4 or 5 days.

Just the big goodbye to get over now, our parents and our childrens grandparents :(

Once thats over with though and the boat sails over the horizon thats it.

This could be the last post on Isle of Man soil, if it is then wish us good luck. See you all soon.

Manx Family.

I've been thinking about you all, Manxfamily, and hoping that all the last minute things come together well for you. The next few days will be a real rollercoaster of emotions for you, but the best is saved for last. ;)

See you in Brisbane, mate. Take care of you all and try to be relatively good! :grin:

Bon voyage,
PR :redwine:

Aw Manx's, the last mile is always the longest. Try to think of it as ta ta for now, and not goodbye. Here's wishing you all a safe journey and all the best as you make your life in Oz.

Very best of luck. Don't forget to take plenty of tissues with you for the last goodbyes. And bring woolly jumpers on the plane. It is a little nippy here.

Have a safe flight, look forward to hearing from you again. :ukflag: :weee: :koala:

The last bit is definitely the hardest. Good luck with it. Don't think of it as goodbye - we just said "see you" to everyone, helped quite a bit. Goodbye is very final in these circumstances.
