The first returning visa we get is valid for 2 years, and we need it for any time we leave the country, as it lets us come back in again. After the 2 years I think we then will have to apply for a new returning resident's visa, but this may be valid forever. We shall have to wait and see. It takes approx 3-4 weeks to get our passports back.Exciting times!
Other than that, not much going on. Graham bought a season ticket for the Hurricanes, Wellington's Super 14 team
Graham and the Tui Girls
. He goes with Pete, one of my work colleagues. The first two games have been on Friday nights, so it means I get my quiet night in, while he's out drinking. A winner all round!Tui, one of the beers over here, are one of the sponsors, and last week the Tui Girls were out and about promoting the rugby. They also did a workplace shout. This is where they draw one of the season ticket holders name out of a hat, and then go and visit them at work and give them loads of prizes. Graham carried on his tradition of winning raffles and got a phone call in the morning to say that the Tui Girls were on their way to the office!! As you can see by the photos, they had a good time! He also was given 2 slabs of beer, a bright orange Tui holdall, a t-shirt and a baseball cap. At least we won't lose our luggage at the airport anymore!
