Free trip to the Caribbean?
Since we had an apartment sorted, it was on to job hunting. I had already teed up an interview with Flight Centre while I was back in NZ, so I had that on Tuesday, and they rung on Wednesday with an opening in a store. I went along to the store on Thursday and met the team, and the Area Leader, and I start on Wednesday! So it's all happened pretty quickly. I asked if I'd get to go on an educational trip while I was here, and they said yes - I'd get 5 educational days to use, and they'd suggest I go to the Caribbean, as Aussies and Kiwis normally struggle with that area!! Oh no - really? The Caribbean? Must I? Oh.............. go on then. If I have to........!!!! YYYAAAYYY!!! And the team seem awesome as well, so everything should go well!
Andrew has been applying for jobs, and has got past the second interview for one place, and should find out on Monday hopefully. Fingers crossed - he's had to jump through a few hoops, mine was a bit easier as it was the same company as at home.
Thursday night we went to Yuk Yuks with Adam and Jeanette - its a comedy club, and was fantastic! Stand Up can be a bit hit and miss sometimes, but these guys were awesome - for $10, it's a bargain, and somewhere we'll definately go again. We also went out for dinner with A&J on Friday as well, to this great little cheap & cheerful Greek place. Then it was off to the casino, and then for dessert. A really good night.
Today we've been shopping for some stuff for the apartment, and tomorrow is the big moving day. We also went out for dinner with Nic & Daragh tonight, and then for a drink at an Irish pub - one of those authentic Irish places, not those kitset "Irish" places that think they're Irish if they serve Guinness. Good place!

Sounds like you are having fun Miss. Excellent house hunting skills! We move into our place next Wednesday and I feel a trip to Ikea coming on.
