We're moving at a very slow pace. I've seen it in Japan - fine. The difference between the first 2 is very slight, I think that there speaker views that there is more possibility of him/her returning in the second one.

The context of the two sentences are NOT subtle, but quite different. The first sentence is ONLY correctly used if the person has firm plans (perhaps a purchased ticket) to leave. The second sentence implies that plans are being formatted, but not yet in place: she may leave, but she hasn't yet decided.
