Guest UGandSMUG Posted September 5, 2008 Hi All, Sarah and I haven't posted for a while but we haven't forgotten about OZ. When we first came up with the idea of emigrating we were full of enthusiasm and I researched like mad, even down to which Foxtel package we'd have! lol. We quickly decided that the only way to properly decide would be to have a reccie, which we booked a long time ago for this October. Since then all the research and most of the thinking about OZ has paused. Now that the reccie date is looming (4 weeks now!) we are not sure how we are going to feel. Our situation hasn't changed a huge amount however as we are trying for our first baby and the fact that we would be leaving new grandparents behind is a constant reminder of what we have here. That coupled with the fact that my self-employed career is going amazingly at the moment makes us ponder what we actually have to loose. All the initial draws to OZ still remain and we intend to have a truly wonderful holiday in a few weeks time, however we are more 50:50 now whereas before we were probably around 70:30. It's not going to be an easy decision....... Just thought I'd post this so that I have an honest account lodged here for when I return and will no doubt be recanting numerous stories along with our joint findings. To be continued.....

jo90 117 Posted September 5, 2008 You are doing the best thing - going to have look for yourselves! We went for a reccie last Aug - feel in love with the place but when I returned home I wasn't sure if I could leave my parents. After a couple of days of being home I changed my mind and we're still chasing our dream to live down under. I feel now that we're gonna give it our best shot - and if we don't settle - we can always come back. (fingers crossed we don't!!!) Good luck and keep us posted! Jo x Jo (33) Craig (33) and Ruby (4) Flight booked ... 18th August!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

calNgary 9,346 Posted September 5, 2008 Good luck with the reccie guys ,dont forget to come back and tell us all about it Cal x If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place... If you get a chance,take it, If it changes your life,let it. Nobody said it would be easy they just said it would be worth it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
