Since my last entry I've done quite a bit of travelling. Been to Whangarei to meet a yacht captain. Then up to Kaitaia where I stayed 2 nights and took a one day all day tour up to Cape Raiga and along 90 Mile Beach (it is actually 90 Km long) and did some sand dune toboganning on the sand 'mountains' on the west coast. Then visited Paihia for a day and night. The Bay of Islands Country-Rock Music Festival was on. Visited Russell across the bay for an evening. Then spent last night in Whangarei again. Now I'm in Auckland and will catch the airport shuttle soon to get out there for my evening flight.
Tonight I fly to Dubai, get there tomorrow to switch flights to Frankfurt, Germany. After 2 nights in Frankfurt I catch a flight to Montreal where I change planes to Ottawa. I'll be home in Ottawa the afternoon of the 14th if all goes according to schedule. HaHaHa! Air Canada is notorious for re-scheduling and cancelling flights. Wish me luck.
Gotta run but will add more details when I'm at home with a cheaper connection at true high-speed.
