LIFE : Back in BrisVegas!!
We'll I've finally made it back!
I might have gotten up at 2:30 this morning (Bris time), my plane may have been delayed by an hour, I may even have had to pay $375 for my 25kgs of excess baggage, but I'm here now.
Dwayne and Dad met me as I skirted immigration (I had nothing to show, but my huge bags would have taken hours to unpack and repack, so I breathed a sigh of relief). We came back, had a chat, and then went off to King Arthur.
Yesterday I borrowed Greg's car to race around and try to freight the rest of my luggage - another 40kgs. First I tried the post office who said they'd take the size, but not the weight, then I tried some container shippers who would only charge by the minimum size - which was 8 times the size of my item- and would only accept cash, which I have NONE of, and finally (after spending a few hours dro[pping the bike in Takapuna and catching buses home) went to Qantas and had them air freight it for me - the first people to actually make my life easy!
After that I picked up Greg (late) and then went for my final farewell dinner. Brendon, Di and Kev made it, as did Dunya, Alessandra, Mei and Marriana. I was delighted that Oli and Sintia also came along. So it was a merry, if long winded, dinner at La Porchetta's.
