The end of the journey

The end of the journey is in sight! Tomorrow we hit the road for Brisbane (only 600km this time). Hopefully we'll have a nicer journey than we had this morning. We drove a mere 35 km this morning to visit some caves. That trip was way worse than the 900 km journey we made last Thursday! Merely because of fighting, teasing and disobedient boys. Amazing! We're still quite tired. Pray for safe driving and nice boys. We're really looking forward to putting down our roots again and especially getting the boys into a better routine. They are tired too and Jamie particularly is easily upset. This weekend we get to open boxes and decide where to put stuff. Like Christmas! Next Monday and Tuesday we have school interviews and then buying uniforms, lunch boxes etc for school and hopefully the boys can start on Thursday with everyone else. My husband spent a couple of hours on his mother's phone this afternoon, organising telecommunications to be connected to our place in Brisbane. Crazy! The choices have exploded since we were here four years ago. Unfortunately, only getting to it today means we will have no phone or internet for several days, it seems. You'll have to wait awhile for another blog update. Today I had another 'cultural' experience. Self-check-out at Woolies. Lots of fun! Oh, yes, and we had a phone call from the Bank (via my Dad) saying there'd been some unusual activity on our credit card and they'd shut it down. Turns out it was us. We didn't realise we should let the bank know we're back in the country and using our credit card! Changing countries is challenging in more ways than one.
