Project Exodus in full swing

Despite the Christmas Holidays, during the last couple of days, lots of steps were taken towards getting things organized for our departure.

Pieter is taking care of the more serious matters; moving our household goods plus car, insurance (AUS + NL), tax filing (TWN), bank accounts (TWN), registration (NL - LOTS op paperwork with LOTS of chops on them!). I get to do the fun stuff; preparing our trip to Australia, planning what to take or send how and when, planning check-ups at dentist (much cheaper here!), getting rid of items we don't want/need anymore. And during all that, both of us are working. Did I mention that, since we're both on local contract, our companies don't feel the need to help? And that Pieter still has a trip to Europe planned in January and I a trip to China and a trip to the Netherlands? All this will have to happen before the movers come to pack our belongings on Janaury 29 and 30 ...

Even though above list is not complete, you probably get the picture how relaxed our Christmas Holidays were and the next few weeks are going to be :-) Well, actually, it's not too bad. It's all about making lists, ticking things off one by one and making sure you have a notepad and pen with you at all times.

We'll keep you posted!
