Re: What did you wish you had while you waited fro your container...
We are going with singapore airlines via singapore (obviously 
) We have an email that says if we book a one way flight and have the stickers in our passports which havent been stamped (so they know this is the fist flight over i guess) then they will up our allowance to 40kg each!! which with 2 adults and 2 children will be more than we can actually carry.
time will tell if they honour this, but its what we have so far.
Might be worth checking them out eh.
Also - Crown have just taken our stuff and at the moment are quoting it should be there around mid january
Oh how i long for my microwave - i have to think about what im getting from the supermarket just in case!!
Oh well - the scarifice will be worth it, i hope xx

both dh and I have jobs now
and we fly out on the 12th Jan - just behind you. We're also flying with Singapore - on the A380 for the flight to Singapore. Are you on this one for any leg of your flight - we had it with Emirates in the summer and flying economy was like flying business class!

lardly, hope you dont mind me asking, but how much did you pay for the furnished rental and was they hard to find? I know we are goin to a diff area, but it may give us some idea of what we are looking at, we are going to go into a motel for the first week or 2 at a push but would like to find somewhere asap.

Hi there Psych - I've missed you too!
both dh and I have jobs now and we fly out on the 12th Jan - just behind you. We're also flying with Singapore - on the A380 for the flight to Singapore. Are you on this one for any leg of your flight - we had it with Emirates in the summer and flying economy was like flying business class!

Like i said been offline for a good while!!
Yes we have the A380 HTR to Singapore - the kids are so excited. When the hubby went over on his own early in the year he went on it and took great pleasure in winding the kids up that he was going to go on it first. He thought it was brilliant and made a point of making sure we were on it - shame we cant get all the way!!
We have had confirmation from our container shippers that the container should in Auckland by January 11th
that would be great if it is - we have a short term rental for 3 weeks when we land (fully furnished) so hopefully by the time we have a more permanent solution sorted we will be able to have all the stuff delivered straight away - although i cant imagine it will all go that smoothly can you!!!!!Work calling

Re: What did you wish you had while you waited fro your container...
I think he found it via holiday rentals and mentioned that we were looking for 3 weeks and possibly longer.
They did us a deal which left us paying $110 per night - steep enough i reckon. glad it wont be for long and glad we didnt have to pay full whack.
It does seem to be disproportionally expensive - anyone would think you were renting in the UK !!!!
So are your flights booked then ? wow
any word about the BMI theyve had a couple of days to mull it over.
