So, as mentioned the Amanda is going to be a Canadian Visa is almost approved. Once we received that letter, my mind started ticking over, thinking about all the dozens of things we need to start organising.

How does one even contemplate moving their life across the planet? I don’t know how you did it, sweetie! The Canadian moved his life to Australia almost 4 years ago and now it’s my turn. I have the next 2 weeks off work and I am going to try and make good use of that time.

Our plan is to move to Canada in October sometime, which means I have about 3 months to get my act into gear.

The first step was buying some luggage in the mid year sales. I of course wanted to buy something gorgeous to have me jet setting in style, however this trip is about getting as much stuff in my bags as possible. So, I went with sturdy, large and good quality instead. I purchased the Antler Translite series and may even go back and get another.

Now I just need to figure out what to put in them! Making the decisions about what to take and what to leave behind is going to be the death of me. I’ll need a case just for my cameras!

Have you ever done a big move and had to decide what precious possessions to leave behind?
