Don't worry - you'll have, what, 30 hours? on the plane to unwind! 
It does get better. Good luck with it all and look forward to relaxing on your way to your new life.

Re: BOP here we come!!
Good luck with your move........
Wales sure does seem a long way away now but i'm sure you'll love it here and depending where you're living you'll probably think it looks almost exactly like our home country. A great deal of the NZ we've seen so far reminds me of mid Wales in so many ways from the open Beacons type country to the rolling mid wales fields and farmland.
So far i think NZ is great in many many ways and we're here to stay but for me 'home' is still Wales and allways will be.
We managed to remove a little bit of 'home' before we left and brought it with us for sentimental sake and eventually i'll get it put in a case or something as a novelty display thing but it will always remind my kids of the days before we left.

Re: BOP here we come!!
Maybe a poll should be started to see who has settled where. Might be of great help to those on the way over and wishing to speak to fellow expats.
Don't know how to start one so no good me even trying..........AmLoolah, Karonious HELP!!

Re: BOP here we come!!
Our house went on sale today and I keep bursting into tears! It could take months to sell and I'm a wreck already. I'm sure that'll die down after the initial excitement gets taken over by the boredom of waiting for viewers and the tediousness of keeping the house clean and tidy!
Wishing you all the best and might see you in BOP. How exciting!
Ah well, it's Friday night - where did i put that corkscrew

Re: BOP here we come!!
Good luck. Let us know where and when you`ve settled. I agree with Am Loonylah in that just accept that it is different over here and no you cant get a decent sausage!!!!
