Default Approval at Last

Now it's my turn to announce our Approval in Principal for residence. As I've mentioned before, we're not sure yet whether we'll move to NZ. We've decided to first go over for job hunting and a reality check. Because of other commitments, we probably won't go over until late May or later. I suppose checking out NZ in winter is a good idea, though catching fall color would have been nice.

Wish us clarity and wisdom in our decision.

Well, well, Selchie. How's about that then. You finally moved forward.

Yay!

Many congratulations. Well done. Definitely time for some broccoli.

Great news, selchie.

It must sure feel nice to be accepted, even when you are not certain whether to emigrate or not.

Best wishes, whatever you eventually decide. I think May is still 'fall' here in NZ.

Thanks, all, for your good wishes. It looks like we may not go over until June, because of visiting and visitors through May. If we didn't have our (unofficially adopted, adult) daughter staying with us through April, I'd vote for dashing off right away.

Gotta check out that great airfare deal that James posted recently.
