Its now all systems go, the campervan has sold we can eat again!

Have booked our flights from Kuala Lumpar to Manchester just need to sort out the Perth to Singapore part. Plan geting the train from Singapore to KL. So have a small holiday on the way back.

Donna has a job lined up to start 5th April.

So for those waiting - be paitence, those coming out - good luck because despite all your planning you will need a dab of it. For those going back - pick up your sanity at the baggage claim in UK.

Will try and resist the temptation to post as its easier for us to see the negatives rather than the positives and there are loads of both.

I will spend more time on the www.movingdownunder.co.uk web site and develop that to include more countries. Not done much with it since being here!!

All the best to you all.

Chris & Donna

Spring flowers are out, trees in bud, lots of lush greenery now in/around Manch airport & Warrington. Sleeting here earlier, blue sky and sun now. You'll love it......

All the best Chris and Donna. The important thing in life is whatever we do, 'be happy' and if what we do makes us that then all the better. Safe trip and good luck with the job and website.

Congratulations on the new job.

Please continue the postings. It will be very interesting to see your impressions of being back in UK, and whether they change after a number of months being back.

Sorry Australia wasnt the place you hoped it would be. I hope you do eventually find somewhere that gives you your dreams

For Singapore to KL try going via Malacca, a much more interesting place than KL. There are plenty of coaches going there from Singapore and they take from 3 hours depending on the traffic across the causeway.

Karwara could you please elaborate. We were considering using these people and have received conflicting stories two not so good and one good from the PomsinPerth forum. This forum looks much better for information wish I had found it sooner.......
