Long time no see... and now from across the sea!

Well, I can't believe just how long it's been since my last post here.  And so much has happened since!

The biggest change is that I'm no longer in South Africa. My family and I are now permanent residents on the Gold Coast, Australia!  Yeah baby!  I now live by the sea, in a place where most Australians come for their holidays.  We've been here since the beginning of January and we've only now started to get settled in.  The house is almost fully furnished and our car is being delievered next week.  And the biggest news is that I've FINALLY found work.

I had a few options open here, but most were in Brisbane city itself which is an hour drive each way from where we're living. That would have been a killer! Not to mention that parking in the city can run up to $25 a day.  Then I applied for a position here on the Gold Coast at a company called "Austar".  They are similar to DSTV and Multichoice in South Africa. They do pay TV, broadband and dialup internet and cellular subscriptions.  So it should prove to be an interesting and challenging role for me.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to starting there, and finally getting back to work.  I'll keep you all posted!
