One week to go!!!!
Can't believe that a week today we'll be getting on the plane heading for Christchurch and still so much to do. Moving company comes tomorrow and the house looks like a bomb has gone off in it. Will be all worth it once we are there. Have organised a house to rent, brought a car and start job on 22nd June. I'm more organised for when I get to NZ than over here.
How cold is it in Chch at the moment?......sad to be leaving the british summer!!!

Re: One week to go!!!!
Hi
Am excited but dreading the flight with a toddler and baby. Will be excited when we touch down in Chch. I'm orginally from NZ and lived in Dunedin for a while. Great city and night life. We sent the dog today so he'll be there in a couple of days being spolilt by friends. How is the packing up going for you?
Best of luck.

The whole country has miserable weather at the moment. Mt Hutt is opening early, subject to avalanche danger. It will probably all clear by next week though. Enjoy the experience of moving life to the other side of the world. Hope you flying Air NZ as its a special moment indeed when Welcome Home is playing as you arrive.

Kiwichick & Weejie, just want to wish you all the best with your new life here. Approach it with a sense of adventure & you will be fine. It is an emotional rollercoaster ride & you'll face some challenges BUT it is worth it. Best advice I can give you is to maintain a sense of humour. Good luck with it all & have a safe journey
