Got Visa, got Job - booking the flights!
Well today has been a good day - finally received confirmation of the job offer in Mackay for Bert! Good salary and a good job, with the same company am currently working for in the UK (Aus company).
Sooooo, now the fun starts. We need to be there by end November. So have two flight quotes which we need to decide between. Going to fly Cathay Pacific and stop in Hong Kong for some duty free shopping - cameras, laptop, sunnies etc..... then onto Sydney for a few days (to see Stella's family), then up to Mackay....
Shipping is the next big thing - need to get some companies out to do a quote, cross our fingers and hope they can collect in time!!!
much to doooooo, but oh so elated. Feel's like a pressure off already, just having a job to go to....
Thanks all (again) for your help!!!
BE has been a lifesaver.... off to have some bubbly
