If the houses were built to Canadian standards then they would be great, but alas most arn't. Goods seemed cheaper in Canada too as well as more choice. still if i were rich i would live in both countries.

I have tried Anchorage but no visa, almost Victoria, job fell through and ended up in NZ and now back in the UK. As for you trapped in the house part, well its similar in NZ. The sun is VERY dangerous there and you have to be very careful. Its can get very hot too, i saw a bird in the garden struggling to just get up as it could not fly due to the heat. But there is a good outdoors life there, just make sure you get plenty of money otherwise you WILL struggle.

I have read so much about the lack of insulation in homes in New Zealand and have wondered what it is like inside. You see today we have a very nice sunny day here in Niagara Falls. There is almost no breeze and it is 14C. We have the windows open as we are cleaning up and Vicki was baking. It was 23C in the house and too warm for me. I keep wondering how cold could it be in the New Zealand houses even without insulation since it may only be around freezing at night and 8 or so in the day time. I suppose we will find out.

Our children have very fair skin. They all have nice red highlights in their hair. Jeffery has quite a compliment of freckles and gets very crispy. We lather him up before he goes out. One of our girls, Arianna 6 - has the most beautiful blue eyes and lovely white skin. Gillianne is 4 brown eyes but fair too. Vicki keeps them coated in sun screen.

We don't have a truck load of money, but expect that we will do OK. I am a Chartered Accountant and won't make as much initially in NZ as I make now. However, if Vicki makes $1000 a month we will be just fine as we should have a reasonable amount to save each month. I am budgeting on $1400 per week once we get there.

Off to the shops, check in on you guys later.
