Hello Gaelyne

 GG> As of yesterday, I am now a Permanent Resident of Australia.  :-)

Damn, there goes the neighbourhood.

 GG> I will be home in a couple of weeks.

Will pick you up from the airport. Going to bring pressy's for us here at home?

 GG> That, and the woman whom I dealt with seemed a fair dinkum friendly
 GG> person and not what I'd imagined an immigration official to be like
 GG> at all.

Us Aussies are like that. Known for being laid-back and friendly.

 GG> I'll have my Permanent Resident Visa by Tuesday, and should be home
 GG> in the first or 2nd week of December, going from  cold
 GG> to  hot in a matter of hours.

First week. Will see if we can turn on some cold weather. Not unknown in December.

 GG> I'm coming HOME!!!!!   

Then we can get on with the wedding. Oh I have all the plans in motion. You
don't have to worry about a thing. I have it all organised.

Saw Rod yesterday and he said to say g'day. 


Vicki
