Hi Tania & Graeme

Glad things are moving along well for you, I am sure you will find it rewarding when you do make it out to NZ.

We are off on 17th Sept & cant wait. My advice would be...what ever task/job you realise that you need to do (ie form filling, booking stuff etc) DO IT AS SOON AS YOU CAN. The closer towards the leaving date you get, the faster the days whizz by on the calander. Do not put off until tommorrow what you can do today, there will be plenty to do tommorrow!

About your family when you want one.......my sister in law and hubby went for a year on a working visa & she ended up expecting after 3 months. They had all the pre-natal health care to pay for (scans etc) so could not afford to have the baby in NZ, so they came home to the UK and will now have a bit more of s struggle getting back to NZ.

Hope it all goes well for you

Cheers


Nick
