Default Its finally Happened, we're on our way

Hi All,
just had to share this, I have been waiting for so long now to be able to tell everyone, but its only just been made possible this week, by OH's company releasing him for early redundancy (should have been end of Nov). So we have actually booked flights for 18th Oct, stopover in LA for 4 days, then onto Auckland, then Chrysallis will set up interviews in BOP (Tauranga), and then all should go well from there, job offer, work permit, kids in school, rent a house, buy a car, I make it sound so easy, fingers crossed it will be.
As some of you know we sold the house back in June, and were told it be no problem getting us there for End of Aug, well the selling of the house was the easiest bit, trying to pin down job offer from over here, proved more tricky, things have been explained to us, but basically its gonna happen alot quicker if we are there, and with nothing holding us here anymore, we can go. Am finally feeling excited after months of waiting waiting , for others to decide things for us, we are now free. Happy Fitzy Family

Thanks for all help with everything, I'm sure I'll be thinking of lots more things in the next couple of weeks.
