Bon Voyage

Well I think I have everything I need packed, just the last minute things that need to go in on the day of departure which just happens to be tomorrow at noon.

Got my bus ticket, air ticket and passport......just been told not to forget myself.....lol.

I have had my goodbyes with my friends, coffee and lunch on Thursday, a few surprises too, it was great arriving at Nando's just after 10am and leaving at 1pm with another friend for a back massage, that evening I was give some flowers and some roses chocolates by my eldest daughter, such a thoughtful gesture and all because she loves me.

Today me and my husband caught up with my aunt and uncle, it is going to be strange not been with them all this christmas, however the thought of another winter christmas possibly with snow after 20 years plus of summer ones is just wonderful, I would love to build some snowmen for my kids to see.

Next zip up the cases, enjoy the family this evening and off to the bus tomorrow, my cousin will be picking me up in Auckland, where I will stay over with them, I will try and put some photographs on tommorrow of me leaving and arriving in the various places....Oh and not to forget the chippies....or crisps as they call them in the UK.  I do hope I dont fall over the different types of English again like I did in 2008 yeah it was funny....

NZ     Pants means Trousers                   UK     In some areas it means knicker or undies
NZ     Lollies                                           UK     Sweeties, apparently Lollies are those things on a stick
NZ     Chippies                                        UK    Crisps. A chippie is the fish and chip shop
NZ    A slice of toast                               UK     A round of toast

The list just goes on.

Right time to get out of here, will blog again once I get to Auckland, cya....
