Let me sum it up in one simple line.
After 16 years of staying in the United States of America, a number of X+1 equations planned, yahoo groups participated and debated to the minutae, spreadsheets filled up with so much statistical data that if these printouts are kept end-to-end we could have literally walked on them to reach the point of our destination, pros and cons beaten to the death, every vacation back home nostalgized and plans to return rekindled, then put out, finally......the moment has arrived.
Yes, we've got our tickets to go back home. And, the feeling is sad, nervous, excited etc. but it's also sort of a relief, because at least, we don't have to take up this topic at the dinner table any more :-)
