Now we're really scared !!
 
OH MY GOD......

What are we doing?

Agreed on the house sale today, instructed solicitors and booked the flights.

We're off 30th August from Manchester to Singapore, then on to Adelaide. We're having a night stopover in Singapore to break up the journey.

We booked through Lees Travel

Got adult ticket for £385 and child for £296 all plus £55 tax

£1400 all in seems pretty good!

So that it..... no more talking and second thoughts. Time for some action !!!

Well hopefully I will be able to add to the 'oh my god' status sometime soon when (if) they grant my visa!

I really want to leave end of July so hopefully will get some good news this week.

They have received the parcel as I checked it out so hopefully the passport is newly 'stickered'!!!

Good luck and best wishes from me and Zoe

Don't know about you, but for me it was the moment when I booked the one-way flight that was the scariest. Actually saying it to the Austravel consultant had me experiencing butterflies! Very weird, cos I love the flight (yes, I'm strange like that!!), but suddenly realising that this time there is no return date was just .......HELP!!!!

Hi! Know exactly how you feel!
We too booked our flights today - was going through Lees Travel but then New Zealand Affair were a tad cheaper!
Our house goes on the market on 11th July too!!

We went to Oz/NZ last year for 12 mths and are heading back hopefully long term this time! Decided not to rent but to sell and go for it. One slight hitch - I only have WHV for NZ and my partner a Visitor Visa - although we have been assured by an agency that I should get work easily and get an over the counter work visa for us both. My partners brother worked it this way so fingers crossed for us!

Good luck to you and hope you have the time of your life!!

Completely understand what you're experiencing.

It's a major life change and very scary. But hopefully very exciting too.
