How tight are BA?

Well, got a standard email reply from BA stating that you can only take one 23kg bag and if you want to take a second that will be £60 please. What a rip off. But what can you do? Can't fight the system.
They are not my favourite airline to fly with anyway, actually they are my least favourite, but there is benefit to sticking to one airline, you can get your luggage sent end to end and if the flights don't join up they will punt you onto the next one. So its BA by default. As long as they get us there - it will all be good.
They have lost my luggage on two previous flights so lets hope they don't muck up this time....

Visa has arrived!

We got our Visa this morning, super quick, only applied on 18th April. Just been on and booked our flights. 17:15 on the 2nd of July. No going back now.
Keith is still working hard on the kitchen and I am sorting out what I can. Scanning documents, doing the garden, sorting through clothes and what not.
Emailed BA tonight to see if we could get extra baggage allowance for emigrating so we will see what they say.
Still feeling really surreal. Handed in my notice today - but as everyone has known for a while didn't really have much impact.....
That's my mum and dad, brother and Keith's mum and dad sorted for webcams now. We have been practising with them and they seem to work really well. I really do think they will help a lot with the separation of the family. Christmas will be odd but at least we will be able to see each other and there will be no fighting over the last chipolatas on-line.
Off to get a drink now, think I deserve it. Today I got my via, resigned, did an hour at the driving range and booked flights to Australia - a good days work I would say!

Mumbai for Dummys?

Well, its goodbye Mumbai, and Edinburgh and Winchburgh and Hello Sydney. Yes, Keith and I are emigrating (subject to visa's) at the start of July. My blog therefore is going to undergo a make over and become a Idiots guide to getting to and staying down under.

I will be keeping you up to date on the stresses and pleasures of moving to the Emerald City.

The story so far. I have a job, Keith doesn't (yet), the Visa's are lodged and we had our chest x-rays today - so let's hope I didn't catch TB in India! have had quotes done for the house removal and we are busy getting on with the house. I will keep you up to date on the renovations to.

I will be at work for about 6 more weeks and then will have 2 weeks off to pack everything up and see everyone before I go.

Please keep tuned in...
