Caryl Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I may need more sleeps Just got home after a 14 hour or so flight from Vancouver then a 2 hour wait at Auckland and another 1.20 flight home. ZZZzzzzzzz We are on the ferry on Thursday heading for conference. I hear there have been large swells in the strait. Hope it is calm on the day we go! :-?

Caryl Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Ours has come to a halt as they have put us in quarantine Someone on our flight has tested partially positive for swine flu so we are waiting for the hospital representative to come and give us our Tamiflu :roll: If we are lucky his second half of results will be negative for swines, just positive for flu, (Grant says that means he has the flu - the swine!) in which case we are free to travel. Otherwise we are quarantined for 72 hours :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wok Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Made it to rings beach with no problems at all... Managed to arrive around 3.20pm, slightly later than I thought, but left Auckland later than I thought. Well John hosted us well, and for dinner is was nice and simple. Early night tonight, and a early start tomorrow. Will update you all early on Sunday morning, or middle of the afternoon tomorrow between the AGM and dinner.

Wok Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Well it is now Sunday evening and a number of delegates are already on the road home. What a wonderful conference that has been put on by John and Gael Eastwood. Well done!! Tomorrow morning consists of getting breakfast ready for everyone at 7.00am, and then eat and clean the beatiful batches we were able to stay in for the weekend. Then it is time to hit the road back Auckland by 9.00am. Whatever "Father" Jim R says from here on, is RUMOURS only!!! :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
