    Cool Last day tomorrow of our recce trip, got 2 job offers too!!

    Hi Everyone

    We have spent the last 2.5 weeks traveling around the South Island and have had a great time. We flew into Christchurch and then went straight to Queenstown. Hubby has family in Roxburugh so we spent a few days with them. Fell in love with some of the towns like Alexandra, Cromwell etc. We then travelled up to Nelson and spent a week in the surrounding areas. Seen some fabulous beaches and had great weather whilst we there. Spent some time at Picton and Blenhiem which was lovely and then a few days in Kaikoura where we saw lots of seals. Now back in christchurch and then home tomorrow. Hubby has managed to get 2 job offers whilst we have been here. One in Queenstown and one in Ashburton. So definitely been worth the trip! Just got to try to work out which job offer would be more suitable now for us, although must admit I'm hoping it may be the Queenstown one as really fell in love with Otago, plus it would be great being near some family!!

    Got an overnight stay in Sydney on the way home and then not looking forward to the 22 hour flight, ugh. All been worth it though!!!!

    Thanks everyone, still can't beleive it. Hubby is a finance manager. He has been applying for jobs most of last year with no luck. When we arrived we bought a 2degrees sim and put the mobile number of it on his cv. Also put a large note in the cover letters saying we were in the country. Seemed to do the trick and hence he got 2 interviews.
    Got back to uk on Wednesday night so are just trying to get everything sorted now with all the paperwork and then get it submitted.
    Good luck welliewearer with your trip and thanks everyone for your kind words.
