Holidays

Well the holidays are coming up fast, which means we spent time this weekend looking for presents! Saturday was another trip to Costco, where Sonia was determined to wander around every aisle looking longingly at the merchandise on display. Luckily for the bank balance, Sonia was aware that we had to be able to carry it all home in our arms, and thence to NZ on a small baggage allowance. So in the end the damage was not too bad, albeit we did end up buying an iPod Touch. Which did hurt the bank, but not the baggage.

We now have bookings for rental cars for the two weeks in Auckland, and the flights and hotel in Queenstown are also sorted out. Next is the accommodation and car in Melbourne. We hope to get the chance to drive the Great Ocean Road. I must confess that this is something that I have heard a few mentions of but don't know the details, so it could be great or could be a great waste of time.

This Thursday I'm off to HK for a long weekend while Sonia get's her Bangkok visa renewed. Friday will be spent visiting the tailor, a colleague or two, and a couple of headhunters (I need to arrange the appointments tomorrow morning). Hopefully also get a chance to visit one or two of the restaurants we like. Oh, and sort out the mail forwarding from HK to the company office in HK.
