On our way to a new life in Australia - herewith our progress, ideas, stories and adventures. Tuesday, 27 September 2011. I am no longer praying that our house gets sold, but I rather pray that God gives me the patience to wait for the house to be sold. We can only start making plans to move to Australia once our house is sold. This is the last major thing on our to do list. In this current economy I am starting to think that it may be impossible to sell our house. After Sarel and I got engaged in 2006 w...

On our way to a new life in Australia - herewith our progress, ideas, stories and adventures. Friday, 30 December 2011. This may have been our last Christmas in South Africa for a very long time so we decided to make the most of it. We did not follow suit of the most of the Gauteng residents and go to Durban or other holiday destination, but we decided to stay at home and appreciate and enjoy our house and our area. Megan, Neré and Cara in front of some of the light candy decorations. It was such a speci...

On our way to a new life in Australia - herewith our progress, ideas, stories and adventures. Monday, 19 November 2012. As if we don't already have enough stress and too little time! Only people who have emigrated or are in the process of emigration, can fully understand how busy you get closer to the actual date. Our deadline is the in 3 weeks time, because that's when they are coming to pack our container . so every spare minute is spent to sort and get those last minute things done. On Friday, Sarel t...

On our way to a new life in Australia - herewith our progress, ideas, stories and adventures. Friday, 18 November 2011. It is just over 2 weeks since we returned to South Africa after our quick trip to Sydney. In the midst of all the Qantas grounding drama, we were fortunate enough that the government intervened and we were able to fly on the date and time as booked. The flight was very nice. Much nicer that when we went. They said something about a wheelchair and a Mr du Plessis. We got onto the Gautrai...

On our way to a new life in Australia - herewith our progress, ideas, stories and adventures. Thursday, 31 January 2013. Saying good bye and RIP Twinkie! I knew saying good bye to everybody was going to be the worst part of the emigration, but this was 10 times worse than I could ever imagine! Firstly, we had a farewell party for the kids on the 1sdt of December, so they could greet all their friends. It was fun for the kids and I think a very important part of their good bye's to their friends . They we...

UPROOTED: Tired? Understatement!!!
http://chantelthl2.blogspot.com/2012/12/tired-understatement.html
On our way to a new life in Australia - herewith our progress, ideas, stories and adventures. Monday, 10 December 2012. Emigration is not for the faint hearted. We've been packing for a few weeks now. Not so much packing as sorting and organising. Everything must go into one of these categories: Container, Luggage, sell, give away or throw away! It is mentally draining to think of all this . and trying to have future vision of what is going to be important and what not. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

On our way to a new life in Australia - herewith our progress, ideas, stories and adventures. Tuesday, 8 May 2012. NEWS, NEWS, NEWS.

As you know, I am quite tired of waiting for our house to sell so that we can make or final plans to move to Australia. And then … just like a thieve in the night … totally unexpected; we sold the house this passed week-end. At least w...
