Unresolved Questions

With any major planning, there's bound to be some questions you can answer right away (do we want to do this?), some that can be worked out through research and some that you just can't plan around, that will need to be taken care of once you hit the ground.
These last questions are the ones that keep me up at night:

• Can I find a job in NZ?
• Can Carly find a job in NZ?
• Where are we going to live?
• What expenses have I missed in the budget?

Those are all pretty huge questions and they all break down into a series of smaller questions. You can come up with all the questions in the world that you don't know the answers to but at the end of the day, if you try to plan for all eventualities, you'll run out of time, money, patience, courage or some combination of all 4.
What we've done so far is to figure out the most "likely" scenarios and plan around that. So for us, our landing plan looks something like:
Arrive in NZ. Spend first month taking care of as much of the above as possible (apt. to rent, get in touch with recruiters / potential employers, bank accounts, cell phone(s)? car? etc) We've budgeted for this step, and we'll need to make it work. Knowing myself, I know I'll be passed out for at LEAST 3 days to a week on jet lag.
We've been saving up all our pennies for the better part of a year, but sadly, with the plane tickets, the cost of shipping our crap over, the first month(s) may be much tighter then we expect. The likelihood of heading into debt (something we haven't done in years) to make ends meet seems pretty high. This also keeps me awake at night.
At least, if we sell the house, we'll have some working capital...
