Guest forshac Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Well, here goes... Its Monday morning about 5.30am ish and the rain pelting on the windows, woke me up!! yuk its Monday and its raining.. Needed to get up and out of the house no later than 7am to get on the road for early meetings. On the way there I was thinking, when will I hear if we are accepted to go to OZ? whilst stuck in the usual traffic jams. At about 10.30am ish, I get a call from hubby asking did I want good news? did I yes please...Our Agent called to say we have our visas!!!! Oh my god...How on earth did I make it through all those sales meetings today?? Just about to crack open the bubbly that's been in the fridge for about a month now...

Guest scott&lisa Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 We know how you feel - it took us a good few days before the news that we had got our visas really sunk in and then we did start to panic about everything that needed to be done. We too are heading to Melbourne, hopefully by July as long as our house sale goes through within the next few weeks or so. All the very best of luck - and see you in Melbourne!!!!!!!

Guest forshac Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Absolutley! Seriously, where are you planning on moving to, we are thinking on Narre Warren.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scott&lisa Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 We are heading toward the western suburbs of Melbourne - Altona, Williamstown etc. Going to stay in a serviced apartment for a couple of weeks until we can arrange a rental property. Can't book where definately until flights are booked and that all depends on the completion on the house. So near and yet so far... that is how it feels. Seriously though we hope to be there by the latest, the end of July. Whereabouts is Narre Warren? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest forshac Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Sounds good.. It's in an area called Berwick in the East. We have friends there, so keeping the familiar feeling going, we shall base there initially then consider where for good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scott&lisa Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 We are going to OZ without ever visiting before and don't know anyone there. We decided on Melbourne as a starting point but who knows how we will like it or if we decide to try somewhere else. I'm sure if we can move to the other side of the world, moving from one city to another will be a doddle!!! To be honest, it is more the thought of taking two under threes on a 24hr flight that is making us more nervous than the move itself!! Still you only live once. Are you taking any children?
