Well it sounds like you'll need no motivation to get where you want and need to be.
I'm guessing there are still a load of buildings and shit you never found time to see.

Bath is a lovely part of the world, so pencil that in when you come back!

I remember when my sister lived in Australia, it was 'pre Internet' so it was weekly air-mail letters and monthly phone calls lasting a couple of minutes. At least these days, with things like Skype, things are a little easier, even if they aren't perfect.

Take it you are over your concerns about flying now?

No. I cried on the plane home because it was turbulant and I was convinced the plane was going to fall out of the air and that I was going to die.
I know I'll get back, mum's not happy about it though.

She has probably just missed you.
And the chances are, you've changed quite a bit since you've been away. I'm guessing you're more confident and independent than you were before you left, close?

Or does your mum have other concerns?
