awsome

This is my first post on this forum, so hi everyone. We booked our removal company today (Pickfords) who will clear our house on 19th January 2012 for shipping on 20th. We hope to fly on 31st January, with a view to being in Tauranga early February after spending a few days in Auckland. Its been a long road but everything is happening really quickly now and the move will be on us before we know it. We are all really looking forward to starting our new life in the bay and keen to meet up with anyone who has been through the same process recently. We are a family of 4 mum and dad mid forties with two kids 12 (boy) and 14 (girl) in tow.
