Packing Sept 08

In September we were furiously preparing to leave for 2 years. It is amazing how much there is to arrange before hand. Ramona has been doing all the admin for us such as arranging meetings with property agents, bank account managers, arranging a bookkeeper to do our finances while we are away, setting up an over-all property manager to deal with the various agents, arranging for any and all organisations to email us any correspondence so we can retrieve them in Tanzania.
Ross has been doing more physical projects to get the house ready, doing any repairs, or modifications that will allow our house sitters to easily occupy the house while we are away. Plus arrange a few contactors to do maintenance on other properties. Then learning how to use this site.
Today our house sitters Sarah and Blair arrived from NZ.
Our visas have been approved and sent through so now we have a departure date of 28th October.
