Tentative Schedule!!!!

Well after a long wait which seemed to be forever I finally met with HR and got the offer package for my relocation. I will officially become an ExPatriot sometime in July! I will be living in Brisbane and working in the CBD (Central Business District).

Here is my schedule (it could get pushed back by a week or two depending upon the visa approval):

07/06/2007: Last day of work at CitiStreet US
07/11/2007: Fly to Brisbane from Boston
07/13/2007: Arrive in Brisbane (not a typo- its a two day journey)
07/18/2007: Start work at CitiStreet AU

I will be flying into the dead of the Brisbane Winter! Luckily the average temperature is going to be somewhere in the 50's - 60's!

First Things First

Update 05/30/07:

My Visa application has been submitted and I go for a chest x-ray on June 1. My new departure date looks to be sometime in mid to late July. The good news is that I will get to enjoy some of Boston's great Summer season then head down to the late Winter and Early Spring of Brisbane!

Here is the original post (from sometime in February):

I am still waiting to hear back from HR to find out all of the details on the pending relocation to Australia. I am waiting to hear back 100% that it's a go. You never know when corporate red tape can put the 'kabosh' on something like this. Also, I want to get all of the details of what is paid for and what is expected.

With that being said, I am 99% confident that by late July I will be living in either Brisbane or Sydney. Most likely I will be asked to work in the Brisbane office. Either location will be a new and amazing experience and I am looking forward to living in either city.

I am going to use this blog for the next 1 to 2 years if I do end up going down to Australia to keep everyone in Boston and Damascus (for my sister and her family) to keep up to date on my life down under.

Please use the comment feature at the bottom of the post to send me your thoughts back.

Hopefully the next post will be listing out the exact details of my relocation!





What a strange looking dog. Must be Australian.
