- Give notice for settling car finance
- Give notice for settling mortgage
- Check out bank accounts (Aus has got capital gains tax on money in bank accounts when affected by the exchange rate- or something...)
- Switch off your MNet / DSTV account before the new/last/full month starts - you won't have much time to watch tv anyway
- Arrange for your mobile phone contracts / ongoing monthly extensions to be terminated
- Cancel your telephone landline & ADSL (if you have one)
- Arrange for someone with signing rights to do deals on your behalf
- Get your driver's license 'internationalised' by the AA
- Give notice to your Medical Aid - get the timeframes right
- Check out your life insurance for international coverage
- Smile
On mobile phones: My contract has expired a while ago. I opted not to renew, but as you know, some of the providers keep the contract running, and you need to give more than one month's notice should you want to cancel this arrangement (yes, it is in the fine print).
The minute I start making lists I get really nervous. Don't forget to enjoy the adventure - it's a challenge, and it's fun! (Get enough sleep!)

Hi Boet, nice running into you earlier today!
One question though about going down under: What about doggie? Last I remember you had some fourlegged woofer somewhere - can you take same along, and if yes, what are the quarantine requirements?

We've decided to try and take Giro the Jack Russell with us. The idea is to decide on a moving company first and then to see how they accommodate the furry ones.
I'll be sure to note everything when they start to transpire - thanks for reminding me!
