Dawn, you must be so excited! Bermy Girl and I are only going for a visit in 2 weeks time and we are jealous of all of those who are making the final move. You are a strong woman and will do great. There has been no further mention of our black rum tea party at Taffy and WG's. I think they feel that if they don't mention it we won't show up! I am sure you and I can connect and drive to their house together on JULY 23RD!!!! They won't even know we are coming until we pull into the driveway.
If anyone truly wants to meet us, first option is to show up at the Kingslander bar in Auckland the evening of Friday, July 21st. Look for the tall blond with wavy hair (that's not me) and the tall redhead sleeping in the corner (we will have landed in Auckland at 4:30am that day!). Hopefully, we will be the ones surrounded by a bunch of hulking rugby players' assuming they show up.
(That's BermyGirl in the middle and me on the end)
I believe we have a cell number for when we are in NZ. PM me if you would like it. Seriously!!!
All the best to you Dawn. I will be thinking of you.
