Has anyone moved to Australia from the US?

There is also the option of a Murray or Greyhound bus, that picks up at the airport and drops you in the Canberra City. A lot cheaper than the train, and better that you arrive directly in the city.

Thank you!
I think you are all right ... flying into Caberra would be a lot faster! I am so glad to hear good things about V-Australia

 

[shushh]

It'll be a breeze! Canberra is only about a 45 min flight and the airport is nice and easy to manouvre. Quick to get out.

Thank you! We cannot wait!
It is rather exciting, I paid my first deposit yesterday to the University
Also booked my DL trip for January!

 

[heidispidi]

Are you still going to be at DL same time as us? (8 - 15 Jan)? Would love to catch up!

 

[Chesire]

I would love that!
Our dates ate the 4th through the 9th (leaving the morning of the 9th) I believe. We have that Saturday (8th) in common if that is not too early in your holiday

 

[heidispidi]

We fly in on the 8th, so wouldn't be at the parks until early afternoon (best guess). We're having dinner at Big Thunder Ranch BBQ aroiund 5:30pm that night, so if you are in the vicinity, come look for the blonde woman with short hair (me), the female brunette (almost undoubtedly wearing black - my sister), and the tall 8 year old girl with brown hair. We'll be the ones who look exhausted but happy!!!

 

[Chesire]

I think Big Thunder Ranch BBQ would be a lovely dinner for Saturday evening! I will try to get reservations (do you need them?).
My husband is rather easy to spot in a crowd. He is a little over 6 feet tall and bald! I blend much easier with brown hair that is medium length. My 5 year old son has short brown hair and my 3 year old son has very light blond hair with blue eyes.
I will keep an eye out for you!

 

[heidispidi]

We have made reservations, not sure how necessary they would be? I'll keep my eye out for you too, provided the flight hasn't fried my brain!

 

[Chesire]

Hehe ... the flight time sounds a bit scary! I think Disneyland will help though!

 

[Sugarglider]

gee Cheshire - I think your arrival may be prompting a Canberra DISers meet!
Even though I haven't met any of you, I feel pretty sure you all would be the only other people with antenna toppers (mine is Stitch)
I stopped a woman at Epic Markets yesterday wondering if she was a DISer and it turned out her grandkids gave it to her and she knew nothing

 

[heidispidi]

Sugarglider, how did that make you feel? Now I'm not from Canberra, but I'm only a 2hr 15 min drive away, so I could come too Or we could have a Sydney meet-up and you could come (something Aussiegirls and I want to do inbetween our trips).

WOOHOO for the Sydney DISmeet

Ah, I was at Epic markets on Saturday and did not see any antenna toppers I probably would have asked the same question.

 

[Chesire]

Oh my ... we will need NEW antenna toppers! Mine is lovely, but well worn (and in need of replacing). A move calls for a new antenna topper, don't you think?

Absolutely! The more colourful, the better

 

[Sugarglider]

OH LOL! just for a moment I was really hopeful! and I thought "stuff it" a DISer would love to be found!
Perhaps a meet up at Bowral - half way for everyone!

 

[Chesire]

Heidispidi, made our reservations for 5:30. See you there! have a wonderful Christmas and a safe flight!

 

[heidispidi]

Oh COOL Chesire! I hope we recognise each other's group!
