CONGRATULATIONS PAUL & CHERYL!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!

When are you expecting to fly out??

Speaking of flying out, Lyndel girl you got like four days to go!! How excited must you be!!

Has any1 heard from Vik?? Hope shes settling fine!

Tamzo -- let us know how you went!!!

Kath, Pris, Caroline, vylex, loke & rings and everyone -- hope you are all doing well! Pris - chin up, u never know you might be in the US by July!!

Ive started my packing and it looks like I will be using sea mail with Aus Post. Two 20kg boxes = $160 a piece. Unless I can find another shipping company, I will have to wait 2 - 3 months before my boxes arrives. But thats okees, only books and stuff like tht.

Hi Kath,

yes, I'm counting haha. Not as bad as I was last time though, I had it figured to the minute...only to find that the delay in flights threw me by 7 hours, but that's a whole other story. I can't wait just to see my Rings again, Denver will be awesome but it could be in a cardboard box in the middle of the ocean and I would still be excited to be there. Thanks for all the help and support you have given, it means more to us than we can really put into words. Hope all is well with you and that you and Rob are making the most of every moment. You're a treasure.

Elle - thanks for your wishes, we are doing as well as can be expected I guess, just getting through each step is a boost to our confidence, and each step gives us strength to tackle the next. Good luck with your packing and shipping, fingers crossed for your boat...I hear they're very good these days and most of them don't sink

The count m ay not be as bad, but the wait seems worse this go around. Nevertheless 22 days is better than 23 days. The excitement grows. I am taking Loke to see the Garden of th Gods and I am going to teach him what a REAL cliff looks like lol. I'm sorry, but the Australian unstable cliff just cracked me up lol.

Elle - That is an expensive cost to have to wait so long, but I know that Loke will likely have to do the same thing if he wants to bring stuff. It sure beats the cost of moving your entire home over seas though. Have you tried pricing it through another company? Team Air Express can likely move it faster and they have no major weight requirements, they normally have height requirements, but all boxes going onto a plane do.

If you want me to price it, just let me know (I work for a moving company)

Hi Rings and Loke,

OMG i know exactly what you mean about cliffs in Colorado! Jake took me up the Old Stage Road into the Rockies and when you look down it's so scarey, totally freaked me out.

Hey, I'd be interested in the Team Air Express shipping costs if you've got some time to check it out. I want to ship about 5 std large size moving boxes but I was going to wait until I am there in CO and working first.

Loke, you might find this link useful for getting his driver's license.

Hi meauxna,

Thanks for your good comments

Well life in itself is a adventure eh!!!

I am glad you enjoyed my mini series

of a consulate interview report lol.

Cheers

Paul

[Rings 10]

I will be glad to check it out. What part of Australia are the boxes in? I will getr you the quote Monday which would actually be your Tuesday lol. I will send you a private messages as soon as I have it.

[Rings 10]

I will check out the costing for both of you. I need to know exactly what city and state you are shipping too and exactly where you are shipping from and as an FYI, the height dims on all air shipments cannot exceed 4 inches or erm 121.92 cm (for those of you who go by cm)

I will have that for you on Tuesday (Monday US time)

Hi Hampmeister!

Congrats again on your interview. I can only hope that David's goes as smooth (with less time of course lol)

I know how thrilled you must be right now!

I haven't been touched yet I am wondering if I should call or something. It seems like it is taking longer than most, but that would be my luck really lol

Thanks again for your well wishes,

David will do fine, just make sure he has all his paperwork in order ,

and have everything photocopied.

I would give it till This Friday, then call if you feel you need too.

For your own piece of mind .

Thinking it wouldn' be that far away from your NOA2

Just try to relax if you can

Will say a Prayer for you and David for your speedy NOA2.

Cheers

Paul.

Anyone heard back from Tamzo?

[Rings 10]

Awe thanks so much! I hope it comes soon. I am holding onto David's visit at the moment. He will be here in 22 days to see me and I am sending him home with all of the paperwork he needs. I have made 8 copies of everything because I am so paranoid lol

I haven't heard from Tamzo

Other than that, I am trying to relax and be ok and let time pass for the most part, but I would be lying if I said that it was not the slowest and hardest time I have ever had to pass *sigh*
