We have the days and weeks to go on our family calender! No visas yet, the FCO didn't recognise the Notary that signed Domi's papers so they are having to check them out. They said it could take up to 20 days! Got another shipping agent coming ... Read More

Many thanks, that's a good tip! I went in to our bank (HSBC) to ask about that sort of thing and they didn't know anything about it! They suggested I open one with them when we get out there but it may be easier to do it here as you suggest. Read More
