Hiya we arrived in November and our son stayed off school till the new year started in January ,this gave him time to settle before we chucked him in the deep end ,,he is now doing really well and has made lots of friends .Dependant on where you are heading ,,,i would possibly arrange a caravavn park or motel for a week or so as rentals are becoming harder and harder to get ,,too many people not enough houses,,hope this helps a bit

Thanks for your reply. Why oh why is the commute times sooooo longs here? I can't get it? With all this land mass you would think that there would be a better infrastructure for the population especially when you think that loads of people are coming over in recent years?
