Another piece of the jig-saw falls into place

As previously blogged Sandra and I have our flights booked from Edinburgh to Sydney via London and Hong Kong.

Travel insurance has been a biggie, mainly because we need cover for pre-existing medical conditions. Whilst tempted to risk the trip without full cover, the prospect of paying for a medical evacuation from the Bungle Bungles back to Dalkeith, whilst exciting, would probably devour my meagre pension for the next 25 years! So we bit the bullet and are now covered.

However a big step forward today which saw the arrival of e-mails from the Australian immigration people telling us that our visas have now been approved. We can stay in Australia for up to a year.

It's beginning to look more and more that we are going!
