Once I actually submitted the EOI I really didn't talk much about it, nor want to. Even after selection - and now assembling ITA materials - I will talk about it if asked but otherwise no. In part because I know it's all still up in the air, I read these board and other tales of immigration-gone-wrong on the net and I realize there are still so many ways to be derailed.
A strange air of contingency has entered the proceedings. We can be discussing some future event, "next time we do xxx", and it's not certain that I will be around to do it. Unusual, this.

I think it is called 'facing reality'. ?Before it was a dream, or a goal to achieve that acceptance to move to New Zealand.?Now it is going to happen. ?
So many people emigrate with high expectations, certain that it was 'meant' for them to live in NZ. ?Of course, it is great to hear about their excitement and optimism, and for some it seems to continue after they have made the move. ?The trouble is that life can throw its punches wherever you live and those, along with emotional hitches, can sometimes derail some new immigrants. ? I suppose it is a bit like a test - some pass with flying colours, some fail, most come in between. ?
