Finally the moment.
My bag is packed, I'm ready to go....
I'll be leaving for the airport at 5:30 am tomorrow to catch the 6:55 flight to Auckland, then on to the vendors house to meet "Zongie".
Yes I know, lame name, but we haven't got to know each other yet.
I've packed spanners locking wire, tape, cable ties and black bags, I'm even equipped to dispose of bodies, so I think all will be ok, the only worry is the weather. Some part of Auckland received 60% of their total autumn rain on Thursday/ Friday and they're predicting even more tomorrow. Did I mention I've packed the rain Suit?
I'll have all of tomorrow to fiddle and fuss before an early start on Sunday and the 600 km home. I intend stopping often and have promised the kids in my class heaps of pictures. They spent a lot of time this week planning my route, making me maps and choosing the best rest stops and places to get fuel and stretch my legs. One pair even included which roads have roadworks and routes I can take to avoid traffic, amazing! Did I mention they're only 10!
I'll hopefully have some pics and a story next week.
Who knows what might happen?
