Travel Tips

Edit: having read your other posts, I understand that it wasn't entirely your choice to move to the US and that your resources are limited to travel to Scotland. I would urge you though to get the money together for a second honeymoon, just the two of you, and visit before you decide to uproot the entire family.

Home sickness is a terrible affliction and can last many years, but I do - partly - agree with Snowy: much has changed in thirteen years, and what you miss may be tainted by nostalgia. I haven't been back to Scotland for 3 years now and wonder what the pubs are going to be like with the smoking ban in place. Also, the bottle of milk on your doorstep in the morning is/has disappeared(?), and Glasgow is actually rather clean these days...

I'm just curious when you last went to Scotland - do your Scottish relatives come over to visit you in your new home? Do you keep in touch using every means possible?

What do you do locally to maintain your Scottish roots - are you part of a society, even if it is just to celebrate Burns' Supper or go mad at a Ceilidh? If not, start one!

How much of yourself have you invested in your new life? Do you socialise, learn, get out there and explore your surroundings? How many good friends do you have? Do you play sports, have hobbies? How much do you know about your new state? Have you explored all that the US, Canada, Mexico have to offer? Do consider this, for it's not just you you'll be uprooting: your children too, who have friends etc.

I'm not trivialising your home sickness - I just think that if you do decide to move country it should be for good reasons, new opportunities - not to reclaim a past that no longer exists. Source(s): me: moved around a lot and home sickness is a familiar nemesis.

Other Travel Tips
Do not come back!

Dont know where you live in the U.S but it has to be better than here.

What do you miss?

The green countryside - Thats because it rains all the time.
The shops - Which are twice the price of the U.S
The quaint village schools - Labour has closed them all down
Football - Its not played in Scotland any more
The people - All the Scottish people live in England, and have been replaced by eastern european asylum seekers.
The sense of Britishness and fair play - We still have Tony Blair and Gordon Brown
The NHS - Don't you want to get medical treatment when you need it?
Universities - Ah, you want to go bankrupt!!
