To Brisbane we will go!!

We've finally done it!!

We've made a decision on where to go - and for the time being we're sticking to it. We will be validating our PRs in Brisbane. 
Tickets booked and in hand!
All that is left is to travel....in about 4 months!
Peak winter there - but there is a reason to that madness ; we hate winters and we wanted to know just how bad Brisbane actually gets in peak winter!!
From the sound of it - its not bad at all....and we will come out laughing (fingers crossed!) 
In the meantime - I have planned out my itinerary and researching some more. 
Will chronicle my trip when we get back:) 

Ciao!

  3. Hi there!
    Congratulations on finally making the decision. And thank you for the post about why you are moving to Au/Reactions of relatives etc. It was the same situation when we told our relatives we were going to move. Anyway, I wanted to check about how you guys rented a place in Au before landing? We're planning to move to Melbourne soon and would love any advice/tips on renting a place before going. Hoping you will reply.

  4. Hi J - we used an online booking site. After i found the right place in terms of size and prices - I did check its repute on sites like Tripadvisor, e-bookers reviews etc. I can share the details of the site I used, just don't want free publicity/ advertisement to the place. Drop me a line at hughbarry65@gmail.com - will be glad to give you the site ....All the best!! My sibling will be moving to Melbourne - they liked it - though it cant be compared to Kuwait or Dubai :)
