Hooray for not being stuck!
I know I should have posted this sooner, like on Monday, but I got my passport back from London where it was vacationing with the locals. It got stamped and allows me to move to New Zealand now! Woohoo! Total process time, 9 months. As an extra bonus they have given me a returning residence visa as well so I don’t have to apply for it once I show up. Now I just need to spend the next four months figuring out where I want to live and what I want to do.
I am thinking about just traveling around working three to six month contracts and following the migratory birds. I don’t know how they do it but they seem to know where the nice weather is going to be. I have seen them flying north for the winter here just as soon as it starts getting cold. I don’t know how they do it but they are smart. (ok, small confession, I haven’t seen them do this. I imagine they would though)
I don’t know what else to say. Just working away down soaking up the cold.
