Mountains of Paperwork

Hi there!
We are starting this blog in an effort to keep in touch with friends and family (without outrageous phone bills!) while we are away from home on an 18 month work assignment overseas. We are heading far far away from home (Blaketown, Newfoundland, Canada) to live in Noumea, New Caledonia. My career is sending me there on a temporary assignment starting in July, pending successful passing of the rigorous physical and approval of my visa from the French consulate!

Speaking of the visa, I've got a mountain of paperwork in front of me, and a long list of tasks to perform before my application goes in. As far as this entry goes, it's more of a learn-to-blog blog...bye for now!
