Well we have done it (nearly) seats on hold for us, so off to pay for them today! 
This is very exciting and a little scary, but We can't wait.
Good Luck to all you people heading for NZ  |

Good morning Tara,
I wish you all the very best luck in the world in your new life in Christchurch, it'l be all the more real once you have those tickets in your hands
You are almost at the finish line and a real inspiration to those of us following in your footsteps.
GOOD LUCK to you and your family.

How long until you cease internet contact? (Wow, that sounded really Trekkie!)

Hi, Tara,

pubs are great but i'm not really a drinker (my nursing son appreciates that?? he's 1/4 irish!) ... how about a cafe? or in our new california style van?
blessings - have a great trip and keep in touch

good luck Tara and family
Would love to hear your impressions of Christchurch.
We'd love to head that way too but it's not likely as Primary teachers are struggling to find work there.
Will keep looking though and will have to go to Auckland if nothing else turns up.
All the best for your new life

Oh Jus....you are soooo right.
Hubby just finished 5 1/2 yrs of study (deg, hons, then 15mths at teachers college) and he graduated april...and can he get work.....$20k loan to be unemployed!!!!
15 cv's sent off (he is doing primary) and one interview and he didnt get it...and he isnt that scary (maybe us having 5 kids puts them off!!) 15 cv's as that is all that has been advertised in the 3 mths...arrgh
No one wants to leave chch once they have a teaching job here...makes it really hard....but life is good!!!!
Someone will give him a break I am sure....he is competing with everyone from overseas too...thanks to the net. One school had 200 applicants, and they took a guy on a telephone interview from yorkshire....what is that all about...??? I am cooool with that....!
Tara..CONGRATS!!!!! Looking forward to meeting up
