My Dad was a master criminal and made a successful living out of it for years. Unfortunately a deal went bad and he needed someone to set-up. I was in the firing line and went down for 3 years. Things have never been the same since then really. Only joking! All your posts are so much more interesting than my story and I just couldn't resist....sorry.

My parents tried to get into Oz back in 83' but unfortunately the new incoming Prime Minister changed the rules on imigration and he didn't have enough points. If things had gone to plan I wouldn't be here typing this post right now. Well...my Dad has encouraged all 3 of his kids to get out in the world and live our lives. He's happy if we're happy so I'm grateful for that at least. He only visits once a year as it is so moving to Oz probably won't make much of a difference really.

I can only imagine it must be harder for those families that are big and close (like the Waltons) because they're sure to miss that closeness aren't they?

Thanks Meg....interesting post.

Steve.
