You are taking the long way home. I envy you that you have the opportunity to get to know the world before returning. All the best Andy.

We haven't decided to leave as such we just think we don't want to retire here either. Having taught in an international school for a couple of years we would like to do it again, partly for the money but mostly because of the possibility of travel that just isn't there when you live this far away. So we have a medium term plan that may or may not happen depending on what happens in the next few years. Of course if my business takes off............
If you are a teacher reading this ( I know you are M_and_M ) and you have or are thinking of getting an ipad I have something pretty awesome for you that we are using every day in my department and have managed to get into several schools in Taranaki, to say it has transformed our job would be an understatement!

The Barista Express sold in UK by John Lewis and Amazon as 'Sage by Heston Blumenthal' but is sold as a Breville machine in USA I understand. You can see it demo'd on You Tube.

We use a specialist shop for the beans - you could do mail order?
