The Idea~ March/April 2006

We always knew we would move somewhere abroad but never knew where. Having 4 children the destination had to be the right choice for all of us. When I suggested the IDEA of moving to New Zealand to Mark he looked at me blankly as if to say 'that it was not an option'. I dissmissed the IDEA for a few weeks but it was gnawing in the back of my mind and brought the subject up again this time involving my eldest daughter Carly, who was all for it and asked so many queastions that we then logged on for more information. Mark even went out to buy 'Billy Connollys Tour of NZ' (which is excellent by the way) and it gives you an overall look of nz. We then involved the next daughter Paige to see what she thinks about the IDEA of moving half way round the world, She was just as euthsiastic as Carly as was bubbling with questions to which we were able to answer. We did a lot of research before we took the plunge to contact 'Emmigration.' We had a phone chat for about an hour and came away full of ethusiasm and written down answers to the many questions I asked, one of them being ' how long will it take before I can get my parents out with us'
( remember they dont even know yet).
