The long road

Hi,

I have posted a couple of times already but thought I'd post here as we are newbies.

We being me, hubby and little angel (read that as devil) of 4.5 hope to move to Melbourne next year, he's just completed the RPL...which is a pain in the posterior to say the least!!!

We're going to have a reccie trip on 5th July Hong Kong for 2 days, Melbourne for 9 and Sydney for 4...when the blasted Pope is there as well...damn!

I've read a lot of the posts on here, the good and the negative as you need to have a balanced view of such a big change in your life and I still can't wait for it to happen!!!

Hi

Welcome to the site. I take it from the RPL thing, that your OH works in IT? There are quite a few of us one here whose OH's are IT people. There is a thread dedicated to us IT Wags on here, I can't remember what the thread is called, but you should find it if you do a search.

What is OH hoping to be assessed as, and where are you heading?

Good luck

Karen

Name: Pan-American Highway
Length: 24,140 Km - 15,000 Miles
Start: Fairbanks, Alaska
End: Brasilia, Brazil

Notes: Officially, these results are hard to sustain as there are unofficial sections of the road. There is a section of 54 KM in Panama called the 'Darien Gap' where the road does not connect. Nevertheless, Guinness, lists it as the longest road in the world.

hope this helps

Geoffrey
