So after all the uncertainty around dates, visa application processes, countless forms to complete and people to liaise with, here we are - one week from today, and we're on a plane to Hawaii. What a thought...
Now that the two of us are no longer working, we've turned our attention to our little apartment... and basically torn it apart. As we are sadly not allowed to take any foodstuffs (which means no wine or tea, *sniff*), we've had to purge the entire kitchen of its contents, and distribute the items that are still useful. To that end, we hijacked a dinner last night and brought along our kitchen remnants, and had a car boot sale in our hosts' foyer - I think our parents would have walked away with things they weren't even expecting!
As a consequence though, we have virtually nothing in the house to eat or drink... including tea... which makes it very difficult to get started in the morning...
The next couple of days are going to be even more crazy - more cleaning and tidying today, and then the removalists come in to pack all of our stuff and load it into a truck. It's going to be a busy couple of days...
The story of what happened when we picked up our lives, shipped all our belongings and moved to the other side of the world.
