Ah, Good on Ya, Mate!
Wow, the checklist looks very familiar. Just before we moved to Perth in February (from CT), our list looked something like this...
Sell house
Have baby
Defend dissertation
Visit family for the holidays
Submit final dissertation
Get on plane with five suitcases, a diaper bag, a breast pump and a two year old.
Good luck with your trip (which I note is in five days)
Correction...a two MONTH old
Thanks, Audra!
Brett, I'm in awe. How did you do all this with a newborn?! And congrats on your dissertation being completed and your NSF award. I bet you're loving Perth--it's the city that my wife and I still talk about the most, of all the places we visited on our honeymoon.
