Quoll, thanks for this thread, I love to read what you have to say as it's always so balanced and sensible!
I feel like I'm struggling with the whole move to Oz. My DH was asked to apply for a job which was great for his ego and looks good on the cv. I was heavily pregnant and asked him to leave it, but he went for it, got an interview and was offered the job. I cried. We discussed it for days before he accepted it on the basis that he wouldn't make Prof here for another 10 years so great for the experience and, importantly, the bank balance! Neither of us had particularly been looking for a move and it is all happening very fast. At the moment I can only think of it in terms of 5 years max then come home, after that our oldest may not come back with us as he would be nearing uni etc.
It's great to hear all the good stuff about being somewhere new and different, but I definately want to hear the things that perhaps aren't so great aswell. Forewarned is forearmed and it always helps to be prepared!
Sorry for waffling!
Sandra
