I'd just like to say Bon-voyage to those that are going and also who have already left.

I don't envy your start from the South Island tomorrow with 140k winds forecast.

I hope you all have a good relaxing time, and get the serious part out of the way then,

bula kava. I'm not coming back.

But remember when you do come back.

It'll be a lot colder.

Send a email to let us know where we can keep in touch.

I'm sure someone will be equipped for that.

Hurry back and take care.

Alan

Thanks Alan. We will have the laptop with us, usual contact addy but not sure what they charge to connect to the Net. Probably too expensive

See you all when we get back.

get a wireless connection caryl :roll:

Am in Auckland now. Cold and wet day. Trip up was uneventful and boring since all we could see was grey

Met a couple of our club members at the airport. They had flown in from Wgtn. The Downs family are here and apparently headed into town to shop.

Will wait for the others to arrive later.

Yes from me as well. Have great trip. Was talking to Mr. Downs last night so wish them all well from me. Pity about the weather in Alk and also from Wgtn but the worse it is here the better Fiji will seem. Have a great time everyone. 8)

I'll be heading off from Whangarei just after midnight and joining the others at the airport in the morning. Weather's not too bad up here tonight.......hopefully it'll stay that way for the trip down.

plane doesn't apparently leave till 8.30 so we'll be waiting round for a while........................

Yes but we will also be in the international terminal, not domestic

dont forget to bring home lots of prezzies......... :lol:

if you could ask steve to bring me back 200kg of reef rock, that would be great...

Two or three fish for me, please.

I am very sorry but the rock I put in the suitcase took me well over the allowable weight limit and they confiscated it. The fish didn't make it either as the bags leaked when I shoved it down my sock to get it past MAF.

Better luck next time! I will double bag the fish.
