Chelsea - thanks for letting me know. Once hubby's visa is approved we (him and I), will come over as he will have a hotel for a few weeks. I am hoping to find accom during this period and then will go back home.

I then will go home for a while and come back in a few months - so we should be OK! Fingers crossed.

Just a quick query to those already there - did anyone use a UK firm to ship any of their belongings? If so, who did you use?

Thanks
