Well, 2 weeks to go until I arrive in Auckland. As I said before i am taking a wee gamble and am just going to try and get a job. I am flying with Cathay pacific..great price ?685 but just found out that I only get 20 Kg of baggage allowance (no golf clubs then!) Can you believe ?36 per kilo of excess baggage!!!

I am looking for a job in Health and Safety and have applied for a few but with no success as yet. Hopefully once I am there then people will see how serious I am in staying.

I would appreciate any advice etc from anyone from buying a banger car to possible rental accomodation (staying with brother in law to start with).

good luck fellow kiwi wannabe's
