I may as well come right out and say it:
WE”RE MOVING TO SYDNEY!
 
To be completely honest we’d prefer to stay in Bangkok (and there have already been tears), but here are the reasons we’re moving to Sydney:
 
REASON #1 : WORK
My MBA is coming to a close and it’s time to…pay back that student loan!  YAY!  Not really the main reason, but that is ONE factor.
