I am happy to be supportive in practical ways as well as morally. After 3 weeks I leave on Sunday but am sure you will survive very well - I am on the end of a phone always ready to advise if needed (try to ring during daylight hours) and because I will be in Australia it doesn't mean I can't nag !!!

I'm just glad we made them stand a metre apart (or would that be three feet, for you Colorado persons?) We'll have to get those frequent flyer miles so I can come stay with you. {{hugs}} jac It still brings a big smile to my face when I think of the joy the kids got from smashing things into small pieces.

Then we had some essentials before the container shipment caught up with us. We boxed up some kids toys, kitchen utensils etc. in a small crate and sent them ahead by air freight.

We also used Allied Pickfords and went on a gut feeling rather than price as well. Those guys rock and I will always recommend them to others and should we ever move again will definitely use them. On my recent trip to the states I also fell victim to the domestic luggage limits being vastly different to Qantas international. I too was allowed 32kg but only had 21kgs. No worries. Leaving Vegas however to go back to LA I had 24 kgs and upon checking in the dude made me take stuff OUT OF my case and into my hand luggage!!! I couldn't believe it! All I kept wondering was 'what if I had of had 32kgs? Would I have had to carry 10kgs as hand luggage?' That system is definitely flawed. I am also staggered at the amount of luggage you actually managed to take!! We 3 cases, 3 car seats and a pram when we left WA and I found *that* difficult enough! So pleased to be able to read your adventures, I love your writing and really do look forward to more :) Take care and hugs for you!
