Moving day

The current owners of our new house moved out in a couple of days - a heroic acheivement. We can move in once the downpayment is made. If all goes well, that will happen next Monday and so we will be able to move in on Tuesday which happens to be when Sammy and Karma, our dogs, get out of the slammer. Couldn't be better timed. It'll be twenty days from arriving in Australia to moving into a house which we will buy. That's pretty speedy by anyone's standards.

One caveat is that our money must transfer ok from our US bank to the Australian bank. That might happen but then again it might not.

We did get our visas stamped in our passports. I said to Judi as we entered the Government Center in Paramatta, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here". After that incantation we actually were in and out in 4, yes F-O-U-R, minutes.
