... as I've now been here for three years!
My partner is a kiwi and the two of us had been living together in Edinburgh for several years, when she got one of those early morning phone calls that she was dreading. She came back here for a family emergency in Aug'03, My IT contract finished at Christmas, she returned to Edinburgh in January '04 and we packed our stuff into storage, rented out the flat and moved to NZ in May '04. I'd already been here three times before so I had a good idea what to expect.
Three years, two jobs and two rental properties later, we're still trundling along - totally undecided what we're going to do with the rest of our lives. So far, it's amounted to collecting pacific islands (visted three so far), touring vineyards, learning to sea kayak and making ocassional forays to the South Island :D
Next step is probably to apply for citizenship - which will make both of us dual nationals - then we'll probably spend the rest of our lives flitting between opposite ends of the earth!
