Hi Cindy,
Good on you for deciding to go for it. Like us you probably feel that you will always regret not trying.
We got loads good encouragement from forums(wish i found this one sooner) and i also searched Kiwis on myspace,and now we are good friends with a couple who stay not to far from us.
Actually i had never even touched a computer until i decided we were making the move.
We found the hardest part was the goodbyes to family,especially my 18yrold son
The rest has been fantastic,and we just traveled around the island while waiting on the permit,cause now hubbys started work(todays his first day)We wont get around so much,only weekends
But hey its freezing here now in CHCH so content to stay in with my wood burner.
Good luck to yous and i will be folllowing your progress,anything i can help with,just ask
