S'pore was not on holiday this past Monday (they don't celebrate Labor Day so next year I will be working while all of you are relaxing) and thus my employment pass was able to be approved.
As mentioned in the prior post, the employment pass is what everything hinged on so today was an extremely busy day.
The movers have now been confirmed, they will arrive beginning next Wednesday 9/15 and are scheduled to pack us over the next three days (9/15-9/17). This means that we will be relocating to a hotel beginning on Wednesday 9/15 and that will truly be when I think it will hit all of us that we are leaving.
I was also able to book our airline tickets today. We officially depart just after noon on Monday 20Sept (I need to get used to typing the dates correctly as I won't be able to get away with the odd American way of dating things any longer). Our flight will be as "direct" as you can get to S'pore. We will travel business class with 4 seats to Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, we will deplane for about 3 hours to stretch our legs while they refuel and then depart for our final destination in S'pore arriving Tuesday night just before midnight. In total this is the fastest way to get there with the total airport to airport time taking just under 19 hours!
The rest of the day was packed with getting our new PO box set up, taking Dannette to the oral surgeon and answering emails from the different persons working on our move.
Up tomorrow is starting the cancellation calls for phone, cell phones, etc What fun my vacation is turning out to be. Who ever said I don't know how to have a good time. Thats all for now, I am exhausted and want to go watch some American TV!
I can't wait to come visit you all in S'pore!!!
