Hi duane1x. Was interested to read your posting as we too have read some threads with more negative aspects in them and are now planning to have a trip over to check things out for ourselves. We have both been to NZ but it was a very long time ago. It is very encouraging to see that you decided that it was still for you. I see that you have decided on Nelson and this is also one of our possibles along with Christchurch. We love the look of the lifestyle but are not sure about work etc. What made you decide there? I am also happy to take our time in doing the whole thing to also get the children prepared for it.
Good luck with all your packing and sorting out! Have you managed to sell your house then?
Kate
