Oh… @Giles she's been instructed to bring surprise souvenirs, and a bottle of fine sake for our inevitable trip to Gosport after she arrives...

She hasn't even meet you guys, and is already in love lol!

brilliant news and best of luck for the job…

@UnTucked:

Maddy's biometrics appointment for her visa is on Monday in Osaka… I (My company) paid for the über expensive "VIP Diplomat" service, which means there should be about a 5 day turn around. She should be here in the next 2-3 weeks, at most.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize the timeline would be so short, so I opted to turn down the new job and stay with my current employer with hopes of getting her here faster. Still fine by us. We're missing out on multiples of $10k annually, but it's worth the peace of mind.

I'm calling the prospective employer tonight to follow up and see if they would still be interested in hiring me in 6months.

WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

Wishing you loads of luck!  As soon as you get your beautiful wife back, let's get a date in the diary.  What are you guys doing for Christmas? 

[UnTucked]

Well, we have some minor plans penciled in, but Christmas at Iron Heart sounds AMAZING!

We'll definitely make it to Gosport before that tho!

Lots of luck and hope she's home with you really soon

I've lost 9lbs and 2% body fat in 25days…

She needs to get back so, or else I'll need to buy a new wardrobe!

I landed back in Melbourne around 8 pm local last night, so a few hours ahead of @louisbosco. However, the flight was in less exciting hardware, A330-300s on both legs.

Not much to report from the journey, except I've been puzzled by what a non-parabolic height is.

@UnTucked I remember comparing notes about visas and partners at the Kanreki. Glad to hear that Maddy's is being expedited, and you'll be reunited soon. Incidentally, my girlfriend got hers through last week, and is landing in Melbourne at early o'clock on Friday morning.

[UnTucked]

That's awesome news! Congrats, Bro!!!!!

[Madame Buttonfly]

Great news, @Graeme - wishing you a very happy reunion.  You, too @UnTucked - we should talk dates sooner rather than later as Giles is effectively away from early November to mid December…!  :o

[Graeme]

Thanks @UnTucked and @Madame Buttonfly. Looking forward to seeing her again.

However, she's very sensitive to the cold, so I might have to get an IH blanket for her.

Good call, every girl should have one!

great news @Graeme

@Madame:

Good call, every girl should have one! 

She said, "I definitely do."

I just have to hope that the weird dream I had last night, where @Giles refused to sell me any more IH gear (can't remember why) doesn't come true.

Oh, and thanks @rocket. Incidentally, the straps on my backpack are already feeling a bit thinner. You might be right about it.
