We hope to leave mid Jan, early Feb too, but haven't booked flights yet due to erring on side of caution for paperwork back and also need house on market before we go - and that's a tall order in itself!
Who are you flying with? Did you get a good price?

Whilst on the phone i was told with NZ they normally use the weight limits that apply to Oz, and that they don't offically have upper weight limits for migrating travellers to NZ.I know the feeling of sorting out the house, trying to decorate everywhere before we go, and with 4 days and 7 evenings left to decorate a bedroom that we haven't even started yet, before our tenants move in is a little daunting.
hey ho, ashe opens another can.

Yes, you get more baggage allowance via the States but I don't want to risk going via the States - drama queen that I am!
One things for sure - we will never buy an old house again - they tend to fall down around your ears!! That's what I like about New Zealand - the New bit!!

Our house was built in 1890, and as of yet not found a straight wall or floor!!!!! Dont blame you for not wanting to go via the States. No civil liberties at all. As for smell of sesame oil stick olibus oil up their noses!
(not sure how you spell that)
