So we leave Heathrow late on 23 August and touch down in Auckland early on 25 August

Seems like it's taken years to get to this stage, but in fact not even a year since DH first applied for his job so we know we have been incredibly fortunate. House is sold, due to complete in 2 weeks, I got my op before I left the UK (so free!) and got my Dr's go ahead to fly 5 weeks later

Can now start to feel excited about it all with 99% of the stressful things taken care of already
