True Meagan it was just not knowing if the thx bag will be allowed onboard as its quite large but worse case I know it can fit in a take on bag..

Ps I always steal the Kids luggage anyway lol

Great news (I'm usually more of a lurker than poster)...
Singapore airlines will definitely allow european to Australia travel with a Thermomix in the TMX black bag. I did it with two small children in economy.
Leave the blades in the suitcases. I also packed the varoma into the suitcases too. Put some spare undies (etc) into the TMX bowl, or some tampons... A comparatively useful method of slowing further enquiry. Not foolproof but can work.
Use the TMX bag if you have one - it protects the feet/scales. You can still take a small handbag and a laptop and raincoat (according to normal fligh rules) but always best to check the fine print.

Whilst parents are great ;-) there is a great public school in Killarney Heights in Sydney that has a French immersion program... And hence lots of francophones locally - good integration for your kids perhaps???

(written somewhat tongue in cheek and with all due appreciation to parents, of course!)

Regards and congrats and good luck!

We always fly singapore so that's good to know and most of the major cities have French immersion schools and there are a number of assoc as well that we have lOoked at... For sure it's better to be in a big city but when you don't see your family very often for a number of years and miss out on so many things your priorities aren't the same... In any case family or not we will be wherever we can get work for both dh and I etc..

So excited and happy for you Frozzie. Where are looking at living in Oz?

[Cuilidh]

Oh Frozzie, what a year you have had - and will have - with the upheaval of selling and moving on top of everything else.  Great to have you back in Oz and hope the move goes smoothly.  Good luck with it all.

2 summers will be lovely, also being  near family will be so much easier.

Dg to the sunshine coast initially..

Cuilidh despite all of the ups and downs so far it is what we want and is our choice to make such a move...making a decision to change our environment which has not been very good this year and seems ongoing. We are all looking forward to th big change... It just seems like perfect timing for us.. Its alot to deal with in one year with everything but at the end of it will be great for us.. You know when you get that feeling that its time to move on...make a change.. Thats where we have been at.. Just alot more involved in an intl move to a local one lol but its all coming together ..exciting times ahead

Yes dh is french... Thought you knew that lol

We are all french but im the only non french born..i am very much looking forward to my double summer and being closer to my family and the kids experiencing life in oz and not just holidays...

If the thought of the international move is overwhelming, think of this - when we moved to Australia we had our gear shipped in from Scotland, Hong Kong and New Zealand!  Now THAT was confusing - we had to make a little laneway through our lounge to enable us to get to our bedroom and bathroom!
