Default All Change! New Arrival Date! Tickets Booked!
OMG!!

Its all change for the Paladin clan!!!

Have just booked our one-way tickets to Nelson departing UK on July 24th - arrive Nelson July 26th................ WOOHOO!!!

We'll be in NZ 3 months earlier than originally planned AND it'll be ski season - HURRAH!!!

UK house sale looks like it will complete on May 25th so the Shippers are booked for May 24th - HURRAH! That'll be 2 months sleeping on the floor then!

We'll be in NZ in time to ensure the recent recce trip counts towards our 5 years PR qualification for citizenship AND 3 yrs qualification for sponsoring my mother for PR in 2010, brilliant!

So to all of the wonderful friends we made when we visited in February - we'll look forward to seeing some of you sooner than we thought!

Take care all!

Dave

Lets hope so!!!

All that sorting somewhere to live crap to do yet! And then we have to get serious about where we want to buy/build a house, but I'm in no mega rush for that as IMHO there's a worldwide housing crash on the way led by the US housing market or a Yen Carry Trade unwinding or a China stock market meltdown - take your pick LOL!
