Hello from the Land of smiles
Hi all,
Just thought I'd post from Bangkok as we're now on route and having a well deserved rest in a top hotel after all the hastles of moving out and getting sorted it's bliss to have nothing to worry about for a few days accept maybe a little to much beer.
One bad thing even with extra luggage allowance I still had to leave a lot of tools behind nothing essential to the job but the little things that you collect over the years and use seldomly but are to handy to part with. Guess I should have sent them with our shipment but I was using them up until last Friday ah well lesson learned.
Will post again from Brisbane later next week.

Glad to hear your taking a break after all the sh*t. We are still waiting for the bloody buyers to sign but as we are having a 40ft container sole use I will have room to bring the tools over for you !
Drop me a pm and I will arrange collection or delivery of them before the container gets here.......I can get them to Melbourne after that it should be easy enough to freight them to you
Good luck with it all

Hi,
Glad the trip is going well,- all the best for your arrival in Brissie! Look forward to meeting you here!!!
Little tip for people using things up to the last minute-throw them in a box and take them with you to the airport; both Heathrow and Gatwick have offices for Excess Baggage Co, in the terminals - in 20 minutes they'll do the paperwork and send the stuff, either by air or sea, for you. I did it with my last minutes stuff that wouldn't fit in the luggage - it gets delivered to their agents in OZ, you collect from there. Handy!!
