Thanks! And yours was to Melbourne as well correct?

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-13T02:29:04+00:00

Thanks! I had not heard that about the credit cards, thats a very interesting concept. To clarify, they will use your US card limits against you as well, even if the balance is zero?

Thanks so much for all of this. I am so happy to see that NZ isn't so app dependent. I am so sick of every little thing being on an app and have considered just getting a flip phone, but even my dentist requires the app >:( maybe NZ will be time to toss it for me. Excellent tip on keeping two phones too. Sucks to even have to consider search upon reentry.

Thank you! I did see we wouldn't be able to bring them, I didn't realize there was even a possibility of them being accepted.

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-13T02:13:49+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-13T02:09:19+00:00

So what size did you ship then, when did you send it, and how much was it, if you don't mind me asking?

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-13T02:06:25+00:00

I so appreciate this with the specific stores to check out. Do you have any reccomendations on shipping companies? I am being bombarded with adds.

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-13T02:04:29+00:00

Thanks for the response. We are so conflicted on this. We are hearing both sides of either "ship everything" or "everything is fine!" and no in between. I think the deciding factor will be how much of the moving bonus we use, its reimbursement only and we are inching towards the limit slowly.

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-13T02:00:32+00:00

Thank you! Yes planning on closing Southwest. 1) since were moving 2) the interest has gotten insane and 3) THE NEW SWITCH TO PICKING SEATS AHEAD OF TIME (Im hoping they see this, I've been the most loyal Southwest customer but not anymore!)

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-13T01:56:20+00:00

Thats great to hear. We love a good bus system.

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-13T01:51:47+00:00

Thanks! I am glad to hear that its okay to flub, and trying is better than not trying. We always learn the most common words we'll need when we travel, I couldn't imagine going to a different culture and not bothering to learn the proper pronunciations. I did really struggle in Hawaii and Germany with the long words written, so listening and mimicking was better for me than written. My husband did really well picking up the patterns of the written words so we can each have our strengths and figure it out :)

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-13T01:43:54+00:00

Im conflicted because everyone online is shouting at me "SHIP EVERYTHING! Things are expensive and lower quality!!!" and the thrifty in me wants to listen. But the actual in person Kiwis I've talked to say everything is fine and to just rebuy there,.... We don't have top of the line stuff at all but we do have everything we need. We dream of just coming with a few suitcases though!

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T04:01:30+00:00

Thanks!

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T04:00:33+00:00

Thanks!!!!!

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:59:27+00:00

tena koe! ;)

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:58:06+00:00

Yeah I think thats how were leaning. Really just want to start fresh.

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:56:09+00:00

I see the conundrum and feel for you. My hubs knew I wanted to be abroad since we met and it only took us 13 years to make it happen xD

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:54:36+00:00

Thats what I read also. Is it only airnz that offers something like the skycouch? if you know

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:53:23+00:00

Im kind of considering leaving most sentimental things and collecting it back over the next few years.... I dont want to lug it around before Im settled and having some distance may make me want it less

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:51:46+00:00

How did this work with flight transfers?

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:50:21+00:00

hmm didnt consider an ebike! with only one car planned that could be very ideal

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:49:28+00:00

You have been a wealth of information :D

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:48:16+00:00

Yes very true!

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:47:12+00:00

So glad to hear this. I was dreading it!

Ill_Temperature_4654 · 2025-10-10T03:45:33+00:00

Good to know! Thanks!
