"Why do we have to move daddy" Jo asked

"Sweetie I've told you the other 100 times you've asked. It's because I got promoted and I have to work in a different place." Said her dad

Jo was watching the movers pack up the truck with all of the boxes, making sure she stayed out of the way. Ever since Jo found out that they were moving she had been asking why ever since. They currently live in California and Jo loved it there. She didn't want to move because she would miss her friends.

Jo was currently preschool but when they moved she would start kindergarten. She was going to be 6 on August 25. They would already be living in Australia by then tho.

In one week they would be on a plane and heading to Australia. Jo hadn't been in a plane and out of the United States since she was 3 when her and her parents went to Liverpool, England to visit her grandparents house. She was excited to be on a plane again even though it would be because she was moving.

*One week later*
Jo and her family had just landed and they were heading to the luggage claim area. Jo couldn't believe her eyes on how many people were at the airport. They were a bit jet lagged because of the 16 hours ahead time difference, but they knew that they would get used to it pretty quickly.

After they found their luggage they headed for the exit to try and get a cab. It was currently autumn in Australia so it was a bit chilly outside. Jo wasn't to happy about the weather but she just decided that she would get used to it.

After waiting for about 5 minutes her dad was finally able to hail a cab to take them where they would be staying until the movers came with their stuff. Her dads boss was allowing them to stay at the house that he owned in Sydney, Australia until their stuff came.

It was about a 30-45 minute drive because the house was practically in the middle of nowhere. The house was huge with a large yard and pool. But it was too chilly for the pool right now. She hoped they were allow to go during the summer though.

After they arrived and got settled in they saw that there was an indoor hot tube so they went in the hot tube for about an hour. After they got out they decided to call a cab and take them to a rental car place so they could rent a car until theirs was brought in.

After they got their rental car they decided that they wanted to do a little site seeing and see where Jo's new school would be. Since they arrived on a Saturday it was closed but they had to register her on Monday because school started in 2-3 weeks. After site seeing they found a restaurant to eat at and after they ate they went back to the house
