Kayakebab, really enjoyed reading this, there are so many similarities with our recent move. We had a much softer landing as we rented a lovely little villa for a month, which gave us space to look around. Your description of looking down at the clouds from the plane window, and knowing your kids were down there, I can so relate to. It was only in the transfer car, when the familiar sights came into view, that I began to remember why I was doing this.
