Thanks for the warm welcome Taffy and MotherBear. In the five years we've been talking about moving to NZ, we've finally set a date. Now the overwhelming task of where are we going to store our belongings, how to break the news to families, what to take with us (paperwork, interview attire & NZ weather attire, carseat for daughter?, etc...), should we do a straight shot with Air New Zealand or should we take a stop at Singapore using Singapore Air and how much luggage should we have and all in 32 days from today. I'm okay, really I am. *takes a deep breath and laughs with tears in my eyes*

Then the hard part of unpacking and repacking as we're bouncing back and forth from Welly to Auckland looking for a job, the unfamiliarity of location/public transportation and difficulties with Kiwi's understanding our American accent and vice versa all while dragging my 3 year old daughter along. I'm expecting a bumpy ride for the next couple of years, I just hope my hubby is strong enough to handle the adjustment (not good with any type of change) as I was surprised when he agreed to try this (totally out of his character). I guess he's finally given up on the US. Thanks again for the nice welcoming response.

Cheers,
Cindy
