Some questions:

1. Can you recommend any good removal companies? Or - what about hiring a lorry and doing it yourself? Is there anyone who has done this and can give me some details, like how long it takes, the route to take, stopover points on the way - preferably that take pets because we have two dogs!!

2. If you live in or near Javea and have children around my kids ages (or know anyone that does..?) would you be open to meeting up sometime so that my girls can meet some new friends and hopefully settle a bit quicker.


3. We have fish....how do you move fish to another country? Is it possible? I suppose if you drive you can put them all in a big bag of water?? Hmmm, I don't know what to do about the fish!
Very excited at the moment. My parents live in Javea so I'm familiar with the area and we have a house out there and NIE numbers etc. so I'm most concerned with the cost of getting over there and the kids settling in at the moment (not in that order!).

Thank you,

Sarah.
