pegg Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Hey guys …. long time no post , we are bad ! So, we are here ! yep we have landed in WA, and currently chilling in a pad in scabs ! Anyhow , firstly just wanted to mention to anyone thinking of this move please do take note : the "goodbyes" ….. crikey for us it was like our own wake ! People / family told us how they felt for the first time …. well in life , we have had so much love from our family and friends that it really made us think what we where leaving behind. However they will still be there if we return or when they visit …. all that matters is that they love us and we love them x . So, yep - flights where long urghhh … but kids where great and airline where fab. once arrived - we slept in at hotel - infact hotel had to ring room as we where suppose to vacate at 11 ….. but 11.30 we where still asleep ! zzzzzzz long haul flights! Next day we sorted bank and wanted to do more ….. but we are tired and we have the rest of our lives to sort bits ….. So we head to the beach and worshiped the sun and ocean was wonderful . Already we feel , this may not be the place that we grow old …… But for now its wonderful , the people are so kind and even though its winter - its not bad at all ! However what we did notice the signs of recession and a few tired areas …. So abit of change was handed out today as we all need to look after each other and hey - show abit of love X All in all - pretty fab , live the dream guys …. the world is ours x Lisa, Paul , Jack and Boo …… down under x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktee Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Welcome to Australia at long last. Give it time, I know you say it may not be the place you want to grow old but at the moment you have emotions, jet lag and Perth winter to contend with.

benj1980 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Give it some time it may feel a forever home, but who knows? The fact you have flown over should at least rid you of some what ifs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouLouSkippy Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 The goodbye parties are definitely getting harder..... We are kinda in limbo at the moment... Can't wait for our life to start in Australia... But at the same time realise how much we are going to miss friends and family! Need to think about packing suitcases soon! ?
