Congratulations to you and your family, I bet you are counting the sleeps now.

Glad everything turned out alright in the end.

Safe journey.

Congratulation on getting your CO wont be long now !!

Thank you for your thoughts Phoebe, dad's condition is still very changeable. He had gone in for a routine urology operation and then he got the dread blood infection and went down hill very quickly, they are still not sure which way this will go.

 

At least half of the people on I.C.U. seem to have a similiar problem and his doctor said people in their 80s seem to either have a heart attack or get a blood infection.

I really don't think the risk of the operation was pointed out to dad but this is not really what this thread is for.:no:

 

We got our passports returned today with the all important red sticker but it's all a bit of a damp squid at the moment.

 

Regards Les

Hi there

Sorry to hear about your Dad it must be so hard for you.

We also got our passports back today with our nice visa stickers, we have 15 wks to go before we leave for the Gold Coast.

Hope things are a bit better for you soon

Oh and the cheapest !!

Thanks

Wilma

Hi there and yes it was meant to be flights, so excited cant even spell right, have corrected it now.

We may have to go down to London anyway coz of the dog, so thats no problem.

Will look into Emirates, is that normal to get that baggage weight or do you have to ask for it, sorry for being thick but never travelled one way before.

Good luck with you visa.

Wilma

WOO HOO we got our visa grant letter today.:jiggy:

We are all as high as kites, been bouncing about all morning, then you come back down to earth again when you realize that you are going to have to start saying goodbye:cry:

But then you start bouncing around again, my daughters think I am nuts.

Oh me still can't believe it!!

Now to start looking into flights!

Thank guys for all your help, this site has been a great support all the way through, will probably need more help with the best airlines and double baggage and anything else that crops, oh and have to get the dog sorted out as well, no time to relax!!

Best wishes

Congratulations it must be a great feeling, hopefully wont be long till we get ours too!!

Good luck with the move.

Hi Les, yes our forms did say the same but underneath they said they just required police clearance from myself and my husband, my daughter was not mentioned till now.

I did think it was odd but figured because she had just turned 16 that why she was not included.

Wilma

Thanks Phoebe, I know we more or less have the visa but I just want the grant letter to finally say YAHOO we got, if that makes sense.

Wilma

I cant believe how close we are to getting our visas, we were in the final stage, we paid the money that all went through fine, were told we would probably hear early next week, then got a email from another CO saying he would be completing our visa but discovered that a police clearance had not been done for my Daughter who turned 16 last year so its on hold till we get it done.

He said he does not know why our CO never requested one but it has to be done which is fair enough, but its so frustrating.:arghh:

Good luck with it all, we are just waiting for the grant letter now.

Wilma

I know its such a big country!!

Hi there yes Zoe is coming too not looking forward to putting her on the plane and then being without her for 30 days but she is so friendly I am sure she will be fine, think I will be worse than her.

She is a typical cocker totally mad but very loveable!!! :cute:

Our Grand Daughter was born on the 13th January last year, same birthday as my Daughter, can't wait to see her.

Good luck with the new baby Linday

Where you headed?

My 2 girls are 16 and 14 so there was no chance of them not going,thank god !

My husband had 2 boys from his first marriage, they went over to OZ with their Mother some 20 odd years ago,after visiting oz for one of the boys weddings in 2004, we decided to make to move too.

Thank you so much Barbara we cant wait to hold Sacha for the first time Skype and photos are great but you just want to touch her.

Good luck with your Grandchild hope all goes well.

Wilma x

Definitely Sue cant wait till we get ours just so I can sit and look at it (sad life I know) !!!!

Wilma

Hi there Barbara

Hope you have a safe journey will look forward to hearing about it on here.

We will hopefully be leaving in the summer off to the Gold Coast to see my Grand Daughter for the first time, in the flesh so to speak, she was 1 in January, cant wait.

Wilma x

I know what you mean Steve we have waited, what seems a long time for THE LABEL so I want it there just for my own satisfaction, even if we dont need it !!

Thanks Wilma
