Hi Jane:

Just to touch base, we are here and pretty well sorted! Well, we virtually did all the important stuff in a day - Insurance/Tax #, Medicare, Driver's Licenses, bank accounts - brilliant - that's the ease & convenience of Kingston for you. We even found a great deal on a new car, with $1K Free fuel thrown in... there are pluses to arriving in June, as it's the end of the Tax Year so many stores are trying to unload excess stock: so lots of deals to be had... if you don't mind shopping & traipsing around a bit! We are waiting to hear about our container, was due in on the Queen's Birthday, so hope to be hearing of its whereabouts any day. Our rental is in a stunning position, but looks as if we may be out of water - not so good - anyone know about water tanks & who's responsible for keeping them filled & how do you know if they need cleaning & I don't think we should pay for that as we are only there till Xmas when the owners claim it back... ???

Also, it's quite chilly of an evening, central heating would be good..... Can't wait to move in, as we are sooooo tired of living out of a suitcase, we dream about our bed, hope it's safe & sound...
Cheers
