Thanks guys. I appreciate the help.

While I am quite behind the idea of using Bitcoin, I am still rather unsure about doing these kinds of transactions (especially with, what is to me, a large amount of money). I will check out the links provided, and make an account with an exchange. To start off, perhaps I will simply try and transfer a little to see how smoothly the transaction goes, before I trust it completely.

Thanks again,
