From the Admiral's Club
We're off. Almost. It has been six months of planning, talking, e-mailing, dreaming, hoping...and Brent and I are just about to board our flight to Auckland. We've successfully stuffed all of our belongings into 4 suitcases...which is amazing given that between us we have six closets at home. Goodbyes have been said. Skype has been installed. I've googled all of the necessities so have some sense of where to start getting our new life installed - cell phones, a gym and a computer tech. What's really important? I have no expectations. Only curiosity and a few butterfly wings. Next time I write, we will be in our new home. 54 Stout Street in Gisborne. [You can see the trees and front gate from google maps].
