monday

i was up early to get my flight to wellington which was always going to be exciting due to the approaching cyclone which was due this morning.   i packed stuff for overnight just in case i couldn’t get back due to the wind/rain and prepared for the worse with my flights. i’d also booked a hotel room just in case which had been booked as there was no cancellation fee

in the end my flight to wellington was nice and smooth and the conference was ok (it was at te papa)

jane and kezia both had school

my flight coming back was an hour delayed so i phoned the hotel to see what the latest i could cancel it would be (i feared my flight being delayed may have been an early indication of its pending cancellation).

the hotela said the deadline was 6pm on Sunday night so i was going to have to pay for the hotel anyway.  So in the end i’ve stayed in Wellington as my return flight could be changed for tomorrow without cost !

apparently it’s very wet in auckland.
