Well, we have been and gone and done it ! One ways booked for Thursday March 1st 2012. Took the Turkish airline option as they now have a same day connecting flight from Istanbul down to Dalaman.

Chris has already packed in work, I go through to the end of the year before retiring (again) then Xmas with the family, Paul Carrack in Liverpool in February and then the big one in March.

It's quite spooky to think that we have to get all of our worldly goods into just 4 suitcases, two in September then another couple in March. I'm sure we will manage.



It's a big step but I guess we can always come back to the UK if things don't work out, we decided not to sell the house, just in case. So roll on March and let the adventure begin.





We too are flying on 1st March!  :)

So here is the Challenge. We have 40 kilos of luggage allowance. What 'Must Have' items would you pack?

Swimsuit & towel, anything else get here as & when you need it!

Cheese, Ham, Sausages, Bacon, Baileys & a visit to me upon arrival!

Book an extra 20kg luggage allowance and bring three suitcases!

We did at the end of May when we came over with our worldly goods crammed into 3 suitcases and hand luggage. Oh and not forgetting two dogs in the hold! We've got a few bits and bobs stored in a cupboard in the UK which we will probably dip into when we go over again, but apart from that, everything went! Car boots, auctions, charity shops and the tip!

Carolyn, that's a great idea and I will get on to Turkish Airlines to see if I can do that. I have lots of electrical stuff and was wondering if I will have a problem bringing them into the country, two laptops, Ipad, Ipod Iphone, and Wii and that's before I have really looked. We are keeping the house on here in the UK so intend to leave a big 'visitors box' in the garage which we will fill with items we want bringing over (easy Supacabby !!) and we will tell everyone who comes out to visit us that they each have to bring one thing from the visitors box, it's a sort of stealth way of getting our bits n pieces out there.
