Hi All

At Last the shippers are in Thursday and Friday so excited and we fly on the 5th. So will be off line for a while after Friday as we have 5 days at a travel inn, never mind, It is near home so I can keep tabs till completion on Tuesday.

Richard is also excited and I was thinking he may change his mind after last month but he say's he so wants to go now, Peter and myself are so pleased.

Saying the goodbyes to family is hard and god I will miss my Grandchildren but they will come out and who knows.

Any way I really just want to say thank-you all so much for your support help and advice over this long delay that we have had to get this far, Also please keep up the great advice that you give to all people on this forum old and new it is so helpful and has kept me sane many a time.

I cannot belive that we will get to activate this blue thing that has been in our passports for nearly 1 year.

My Brother will not know what has hit him when we arrive lol.

Take Care catch up soon

All the best Pam - glad to see your problems have sorted themselves out. Now sit back, relax and enjoy the experience.

Pam - after all our phone calls, PMs and 'open heart' discussions, I can hardly believe that you're actually on your way. I remember the feeling of having the packers in and those final few days so well. When you get on the plane you can let out a huge sigh and start on the G&T's.

Great to know that Richard has turned full circle. Us oldies get bad wobbles so it's only natural that the younger ones will too. Hope Pete's feeling better too. Get in touch when you arrive and we'll have that long awaited shopping trip.

See you soon, safe journey and love to you all.

Hope everything goes smoothyly for you from now on Pam. It won't be long before you will look back on all the trouble and stress and will hardly believe what you've been through!

It will be very hard and emotionally wrenching to say good byes to family but like you say, they will come and visit and indeed who does know what might happen?!!

If the shippers are anything like ours they will be through your house like greased lightening - ours were brilliant so just make sure you keep out of the way or you'll end up bubble wrapped and put in a box hee hee!!

All the very best to you and hope to catch up with you on this side of the planet.

Hi Pamela

Great to hear you are finally on your way. It seems like ages since we PM'd each other.
Essex will soon be but a distant memory and I know you will just love it here in NZ.
Good luck and stay chilled.

So glad that Richard is over his wobbles, hopefully the good luck will rub off for me :nice1
Jordon has said that he will be deciding soon....but he gets closer to his GF each day :uhoh , I just try not to get stressed (bad bout on Mthrs Day)

So hopefully we will be on our way in 8 wks time (bet it seems like an age since you were at this Mark) and the boys will have their tickets booked....DITO on the Granchildren bit....but thank god for Skype and webcams hey!

Hope you have a fantastic flight and relax ....have a glass of champers to celebrate the BEGINNING of the Journey....

All the best Kat x :exit

Its finally here Pam, and after all the hassles you have faced. Well done, and enjoy what the future brings. Give us a shout when you get to Hamilton(this is your destination? yes), as we are just down the road in Te Awamutu.

That's great Pam, wishing you and family all the best.

Some more 'new in NZ' posts to look forward to in coming weeks! I occassionally re-read my early ones when I need some light entertainment!

[driver]

Good luck Pamela and family. Safe journey. Come on here from time to time to keep us updated.

[Pamela]

Thanks Everyone for your goodluck wishes, Do not know if on me arse or head this is so draining but I just so want to get ont the plane yipeeeeeeee

Container coming soon and when loaded I am out of here cannot explain how I am feeling all seems a bit strange but many have been at this stage and got through ok, Just hope I have a house left after Richard has had his do at a empty address but to numb to worry about that,just clear up the mess later we parents are good at that.

Goodluck to the many of you that are nearly there and those of you just starting.

Will keep you all posted when I can and see you all on the other side.

Diny cannot wait to finally meet you. And look forward to many meets with everybody soon.

By the way Avalon Shipping great guys and excellent at what they do, will wait and see if ok at other end but if this side anything to go by should be as smooth as.
