The project plan

The plan is the size of a planet and growing.
The major milestones are:
Abi pass CELTA course (May)
Get job in Spain (thats Abi getting a job as an English teacher) (July)
Me hand in my notice at work (April)
Get the house rented (Done)
Move to Spain (with Tom and Jake) (August)
Find housing (July)
Get kids into school (b4 September).

So nothing much really. And not scary at all since I will have to hand in my notice b4 Abi has landed a job.
Anyway, we seem to have been a bit lucky renting the house - to 4 postgrads just starting phds. So if we're lucky, theyll stay for 3 years (and not wreck the joint).
I think I might start to get a little excited once Abi has got a job and we know where we are going. Till then, its just blind panic.
I keep telling myself that you only live once and that the recession and high unemployment shouldnt stop me handing in my notice.

The 4 year project

Move to Spain Sept 09.
Stay in Spain for 3 years.
Costa Rica for 6 months.
6 months travelling South America.
Home.
And if any or all of the above comes to fruition........
Still, you only live once!

Well I suppose this is the beginning, we've just told Andy's Mum our plans to go to Spain! The first of many family members who are going to question our sanity!
