Settling in

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

I start work on Tuesday for Axon Computer Systems in Wellington, and We found an apartment near George and Emma which we move into this weekend. We went out yesterday and bought some essentials for the place - fridge, bed, etc. It’s the first time we’ve owned furniture since 2000, so it was a strange experience to be in a store choosing appliances, especially since we took out Credit for some of the appliances (which is shockingly easy to get).

We’ll update some photos once we move in.

The Long Haul

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

After 4 flights (two of which were delayed) and around 40+ hours of travel we arrived safely in New Zealand yesterday. We’re both a little tired, jet-lagged, and still getting our heads around the fact this is not a vacation, but so far things are OK and we feel fine.

Now we need to get down to the serious stuff of finding jobs, a place to live, and starting this new life properly. Fortunately, we have George and Emma here to help guide us in this. It certainly makes things easier.
