If the thought of the international move is overwhelming, think of this - when we moved to Australia we had our gear shipped in from Scotland, Hong Kong and New Zealand!  Now THAT was confusing - we had to make a little laneway through our lounge to enable us to get to our bedroom and bathroom! 

When I moved to Australia I brought I suitcase and one handbag. I have been shopping ever since.

 Frozzie -- (will that now become ozzieozzie?? ;D)  . . .  here comes the rainbow at what seems to have been a rather stormy period!!  


Good luck with all the organisation and safe travelling - what a fantastic adventure and I'm sure your family is just over the moon at the prospect of having you so close!!

Saw this this morning - do you think your children would like to choose their own luggage tags?? :D

Frozzie this bag fits the TMX the trick is the expandable outside pouch.

The bag is,when opened,20 cm deep,width is 32 cm and height from wheels on ground is 52 cm. Weight 3.4 kilos

I put the TMX without the jug in sideways, opened the expandable bit and it is a lovely snug fit. Weight 8.6 kilos






So it can be done. You just want to pack light things in it so Otis no more that 10 kilos or whatever. This bag fits all overhead lockers on the aircraft you might use.

I tried to put it upright the other way but it was not happening. Packing it sideways gave the expandable bit a wee more flexibility and it is right enough not to move. Really snug.

So you at least know if all else fails,that will work.

A perfect mix of the two wold be heaven but the last year i have been wanting to move back to oz.. The withdrawal symptoms are finely kicking in after so many years lol...It will be nice to Live in oz after living for some time in europe..

How exciting for you all, and a very busy time ahead. Wishing you a very happy and smooth next few months.

Hi Frozzie,
As someone who has left her country of birth as a young adult, I understand where you're coming from. I think it is wonderful that you're returning home to share treasured times with your parents. Good luck to you and your family and happy settling back to Oz :)
