The news is all GOOD !

Today (August 4th) we finally received our passports back from the consulate. The VISA issues have all been sorted, and at this point in time, our estimated date of departure from Melbourne is Friday August 11th. (One month after our initial intended leave date.)

We are all very excited, and looking forward to the big move. It has finally hit us that we are leaving, and the enthusiasm is back, and we are ready to go.

First challenge will be to find a house for the family and school for the children (not necessarily in that order)...

This week will be one of good-byes to our friends in Australia, and almost a welcoming to our new friends in the USA.

We do have some things to share that we have been doing in our time waiting for the VISA process to complete, which we will post after we are settled. At the moment, getting access to the internet is brief, as we are borrowing other peoples internet connections.

USA Here we come !
