Unfortunately, we now won't be joining you guys in September, so we can come off the list.

We've taken the decision to postpone the move until November due to problems with our house sale, i.e. it isn't happening!

Fortunately, we have flexible flights, so we've re-booked.

It's disappointing to have to wait even longer, but I keep telling myself it's only 2 more months and it will be worth the wait!!!

Sorry to hear your disappointing news.
It will be worth the wait though.

Hi all.

We are coming to Wellington the week starting the 21 September. Sorting out our flights at the moment.

Cannot wait to get our feet on the ground and start our new lives.

Not sure if we count as we don't actually arrive until October, but we are setting off on 2nd September. Taking a long trip enroute across America. Think I'm excited or is that worried!

You can add me to the list.
Flights booked and arrive in Wellington on 15th Sep, start work on 20th !!
Nowhere to live, and wife not out for another month.
At least I'll get to know the lie of the land before she arrives..

Whinging Pom, what are your plans for when you get to Wellington?? Let me know if you fancy meeting up for a drink.

Just updated the list,

I have flights booked and also arrive in Welly on 15th Sep .

Well technically I get to Auckland on 15th, but I need to get to Welly. I could get internal flight but baggage allowance will be blown as getting 50kg on emirates. Thinking of hiring car as will probably work out cheaper.

Anyway, my wife not out for 1st month, so I will be Billy no-mates, and definitely free on 16th if you are around in Wellington.

Just seen that Perry is also out the week before, so maybe we could organise something..

Yeah, I'd be up for something. That said, my first priority on arrival will be staying awake long to eat before I crash out! After the last trip we wandered aimlessly up and down Cuba street like a pair of zombies in the evening trying to remember why we'd not gone to bed.

I'm staying in Plimmerton initially, but it's allegedly only 20 minutes on the train from the CBD.

Just reading the posts I've noticed we have a slight arrival versus departure confusion going on. I depart on the 15th and arrive on the 17th.

Dewb are these supposed to be arrival or departure dates ???
