Default We have arrived in Perth!

Well, we have arrived at last in Perth.

Journey was excellent, flew business class with Emirates via Dubai.

Managed to get a whopping 42kg each but eventually took 98kg ( :scared: ) between us which was accepted without comment (or charge).

Busy sorting things out now but thoroughly enjoying ourselves.

Making time for a or three as well!

Hi Christine,

excellent news! Glad to hear you arrived safely. Wow, what a lot of luggage Must admit, we're also thinking of splashing out just once and flying business class.

Hope all the settling in goes well.

Best wishes,

Gina

Just a quick update. We've been in Perth 10 days and so far have bought a house (SOR) and a car. Loving it so far!

Move into house in 3 weeks so have a fair bit to do yet but plenty of time for a few

And the weather is improving

Sounds like you had a good journey and are settling in well. I can't believe you have bought a house already.

Oh, please please tell us more about the house . Whereabouts SOR is it? Near the ocean? Swimming pool? I love reading about houses, lol.

Glad it's going well. Been to any job agencies yet?
