Its happening!!!
HI All
Not posted on here for ages as have been mad busy. We are shipping next week and I'm up to my eyes in lists, boxes and Jeyes fluid! Its the little things that are driving me mad, like remembering to pack vacuum bags!!!! Having to divide our clothes to cover the UK summer (what summer?) and NZ winter/spring is also frustrating and I'm having to be really ruthless about what gets shipped and what comes on the plane with us. Veering between wildly excited about the start of our adventure and totally terrified that we are about to make the biggest mistake of our lives!!! This is normal from what you have all said in your posts.
The kids leave school next week and I don't think they really appreciate that they wont be coming back. They are excited and oblivious to the finality of the big move and we are content to leave it that way for now as they are too small to fully grasp what emigrating means. We have been talking to them about it for such a long time that I think they just want us to shut up and get them over there.
We are using Emirates overnight to Dubai and then onto Auckland. From Auckland we head down to Tauranga where my HR dept have fixed us up with a rental for a month. We plan to use this as a base to find somewhere more permanent to rent and at the moment we love the idea of Omokoroa.
Anyone up for a coffee in Tauranga at the end of August give us a shout!
Hope to see some of you soon
Suzanne
