tinytawnykitten Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 We are 80% likely going up to Auckland (driving) for the weekend on the 5th or 6th of June and returning on the 8th. I just wanted to put it out there if anyone from Wellington wants some fishies brought back for them from Aucks. Don't get too excited yet cos we need to confirm with the peeps in Auckland we're going to see, but just wanted to give y'all a heads up. I'll let you know when I know for sure.

tinytawnykitten Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Ok so we are all set to go to Auckland, leaving Wellington at midday on Thursday the 5th of June, most likely straight through (with the obligatory stops one makes when one has a 3 year old) and then back from Auckland on Sunday 8th June. I have a Honda Odyssey and we won't need much luggage so we will have room for fish. I am happy to collect fish from people's houses in Auckland with a contribution for around-Auckland petrol costs. And then fish will need to be collected from my place on the evening (hopefully we won't be arriving home at some ungodly hour!!). So, if you would like some fishies brought down to Wellington from Auckland (or vice versa!), let me know!! :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinytawnykitten Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Just to clarify a couple of things. I am happy to bring fish back from Auckland but am not able to stop along the way, ie Hamilton, Taupo, etc. I am not experienced at bagging fish, and I won't have time, so please have fish bagged up for transporting when I am coming to collect. While I will be super attentive, I can't be responsible for fish which don't arrive in the condition you were expecting. I hope I don't sound all meany but just need to make sure the day doesn't turn into a train wreck!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytawnykitten Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Got here to the Big Smoke and brought some fish up for some peeps. Sorry Mystic (just got too complicated) and Blueandkim (too far to go collect the fish) that your fish transport didn't work out but I'm sure a courier will be just as effective (and even bring them to your house!). Loved having a drool at HFF (both branches!). Heading home with more fish tomorrow. Yay! :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faran Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 All good, the effort was appreciated anyways I think it just wasn't meant to happen if the seller can't help with meeting you when you have such a long drive with a toddler to deal with. Plenty more fish in the sea and I hope the trip was good for you! Safe driving tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
