Hello all

I joined this site last year when I was applying for a spouse visa. This was granted and since then I have been working hard to finsih my degree so i can make the move to be with my husband.

I have now booked my flight out for the 5th may and I am soooo excited!

I was wondering if there was anyone in the Adelaide area? We will hopefully be living in Glenelg and I would love to get chatting to some people before I move out there!

Hope all is well for everyone

There's quite a few people who post regularly from the Adelaide area, I don't count, I'm 300 kms away.

May will soon come around! Have a look in the "meet ups" section of the BE site too - not something I've ever done but might be worth a try!

Glenelg is very, very lovely, but full of tourists at the minute!

Hi Carly
I am in Adelaide. If you are on Facebook, check out the Expats in Adelaide page. It's a good way of getting to know a few people before and after you arrive.

Wendy

Hello from another Yorkshire lass - I come from Bradford (don't hold that against me though will you? )

I'm don't live near Glenelg, I'm further north although I work not far from the airport so just up the road from there. I do love Glenelg, had a really great girly weekend there a few weeks back.

Hi Wendy, well I'm from Pudsey, so its practically bradford!! I went to school in Bradford too.

How long have you been in Adelaide? Are you enjoying it? Do you miss Bradford at all?

Wendy

I've been here almost 6 years, and I love living here. Don't really miss Bradford at all. I visited the UK in Nov/Dec 2010 and after the novelty of seeing family wore off, I couldn't wait to get back home to Australia!

CarlyChalk

I'm hoping that will happen with me too. But planning on coming home at least once a year!! Not sure that will happen though with costs etc!!

CarlyChalk

Wendy

No problem, ask away. I'm happy for you to PM me any time

Dorothy

You'll be in very good hands with Wendy. She's great fun and one the many things I miss since leaving Adelaide.

When are you moving over?

CarlyChalk

Hi Dorothy.
I'm moving over at the start of May. Flight booked and everything. I'm nervous but not too much as the excitement prettymuch weighs all that out!!

Where are you now? Where is Adelaide did u live?

Dorothy

We moved to Perth nearly 5 years ago for my husband's job. We lived in Klemzig when we were there though.

Good luck with the move. Adelaide is a nice place with loads to do.
