Yes, I am a teacher. We are staying in/around Pukekohe. We had some friends that stayed in Botany Downs for 3 months and I don't think it is too far away. It would be great to meet up at some point.

Get in touch once you arrive.

Def have to have a big meet up when all there.....we'll all be so knackered tho better wait till late Feb!!

Hope everything goes well ....

Must dash as at aps at the mo, so not much internet access - be good to catch up on the other side for sure
Enjoying it - an understatement - am loving it!!!!

The people are lovely - had a lovely picnic with several other friendly folk from the uk and ireland this afternoon - The weather is fab - the accommodation is great and the kids are being as good as gold. life is sweeeeet

good luck with the flight, try not to go too much over your weight limit - we were 20kgs over

Take care xx

I am not sure how we are going to cope with those long flights as we are exhausted after trying to get our affairs in order before we left - lots of 2am bedtimes over the last week!

We are really looking forward to arriving in NZ. I think buying a car is early on our list of things to do, although just a cheap runaround to get us going is what we are after.

Andrew
Thats a task we are trying to undertake at the moment. What a faff!! theres plenty to choose from thats for sure, some better than others, Trying our best not to buy a dud!! but with the best will in the world thats probably what we will end up with


I expect you are on the plane by now and at least then you will be able to rest for a while and sleep maybe - just so you know - we are thinking of you and sending good wishes your way x

Flower Pot is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: UK 2 NZ Jan 2010!!

I feel I am jumping the gun as you are only on Jan/Feb but I can't resist getting involved!

We were meant to be Jan but with the MA delays it is looking as though it will be June now (and thats if we are successful )!

Still, when you convert it into weeks it doesn't seem like too far away - approx 20 weeks!

So excited for all of you who are making the journey this/next month, can't wait to be in that position!

Just wanted to say "safe journey y'all & hopefully see you over in the land of the long white cloud very soon"!!!

Hi

Forgot to mention the dog, Phoebie, is flying out on 28th Jan!

Wish her luck, I am more worried about the dog than me!

Good luck again to everyone else.
