Closing Time...

Well, the party's over, Daniel's finished work, and now the real hard labour begins. It was kind of weird on Saturday... kind of hit for the first time that we are saying goodbye to so many people for the next few years.

Heaps of people kept asking the same question, "so when do you actually leave?" So thought that we should give you all a brief rundown of our whereabouts for the next 2 1/2 weeks.

Tuesday 18 September: leave our place on Grey St (so you will only be able to get hold of us by text) and stay with friends.
Thursday 20 September: leave Akl and head to Tauranga to visit with Daniel's family. If you are in the BoP or want to catch up, we'll be staying at 14 Thirteenth Ave. Ph: 07 5784040
Wednesday 26 September: leave Tauranga and head to Hamilton to visit with Susanna's family. You can catch us at 11 Gresham Place, Rototuna, Ph: 07 8532511
Tuesday 2 October: leave Hamilton and return to Auckland. Most likely will be staying with Susanna's brother. Ph: 09 8173609
Wednesday 3 October: Haere Ra Aotearoa! Our flight leaves at 3:15pm so we will be heading out to the airport around 12:30pm or so.

Thanks for tuning in

Let's get this party started!

Well, latest developments. We are slowly making our way through our lists of things to do. Went to travel doctor last weekend and got our shots (fun), went to the bank today to order a bunch of foreign currency, went to the optometrist last week for check up, and this week Susanna is getting her wisdom teeth removed. Wow. We feel very responsible and grown up.

One of the next big things we are doing is having a party!!! We are hoping to have a farewell shindig of some description on Saturday 8th September so that we get to see everyone before we go. Details to be advised.

You'll see now that we have a couple of web links set up on the right. There's also an opinion poll running so go ahead and vote. Before we leave we'll make sure we establish a link for a photo gallery. For now, enjoy!

We're leaving on a jet plane.....

Welcome to our blog!

If you are reading this, then you already know we are leaving. Today we picked up our air tickets - very exciting - and, slowly, everything is becoming a little less surreal. So, equally, a little more stressful!

Just a few tips on the blog. On the side bar, you will see our proposed itinerary... this is for the period between October 2007 and January 2008. We will be updating this as things go on.

Soon, we also hope to have some interesting/useful links about what we are doing/where we are going on here as well.

For now, though, that's about all, folks.

Enjoy
