Crazy Wellington weather. All the Origin Pacific flights to Wellington were canceled today due to the "absolutely foul" conditions (booking lady's description). This means of course that all the people were bumped to tomorrow, so it's absolutely chokka. No seats, same on Friday.
Now see, this is how much I love you guys. SO YOU'D BETTER BE AT MERCURY!
I abhor the ferry. Actually, I abhor all boats that aren't kyaks. I have been on the ferry 3 times in my life and that is really quite enough for me. Planes I have a wonderful feeling of peace, search me as to why - but on the water, I stress constantly, because I'm trapped and I can't get off and there's water everywhere! With hungry fish. And also I always worry that I'll feel sick, and be trapped feeling sick for hours and hours on the wretched boat.
Tomorrow I will board the train at 7.30am and travel to Picton. I'm really looking forward to the train trip, very scenic (and only $37!). Then I will take the 1.30pm sailing and wind up (hopefully) in Welly at 4.00
Just my luck, it'll be howling a gale and then there'll be an earthquake and the boat will drown just like the Wahine distaster. I bet they have rabid sharks in the Strait, too.
Actually, if it's looking at all dodgy on the weather front, I will pop a sleeping pill and knock myself out for a few hours. I'd rather deal with grogginess than gagginess.
So yeah! I'll be in town from tomorrow night onwards, so if you're around and wanna catch up, text me! 021 257 3591. If I sound unconscious, I might still be on ferry ;)
Loves!

Yeah lots of Auckland headed workmates were stranded in wellington. & another workmates aunt has come out from Fiji & is stuck in Auckland for 2 days as she can't get flights until Friday
I would be grateful if you do run across any rabid sharks if you could interuppt them mid munch to give them directions my way please. Thanks.

Not that this helps the planes, since none could land all night....
Yay! It's awesome that you are coming. We are going to be all flat moving tho, so sorry if we are not entertaining.
