SOOSH'S NZ STAKEOUT
DAY 1
Tuesday Novemeber 11th 2003
Setting...
Plane: Qantas 737
Sardine Class
Pilot: "Welcome for flying Qantas this evening. We're glad to have you aboard..... (yada yada yada) For queasiness after dinner, on this turbulent flight, please locate the paperbag in the front pocket, but first please make sure your seatbelt is fastened tightly across your lap and that your luggage is secured in the overhead lockers. There is no smoking on this flight. There will be some tail winds as we head into Wellington".
Two hours into the flight, me yacking away to the men next to me... I put on the call button to attract the airhosty... Hostess "Whatya want" (all done with an atractive "If looks could kill" glare at me)
Me "Look, I'm a bit short, could you pass me my bag from the overhead compartment, so I can get my passport out to fill in this immigration card?"
Hostess"Uch"
(Okay, mental note "Don't ask hosty hostess for anything")
Thankfully the dinner was nothing short of delectable! It was so yummy, I was tempted to ask for more.
By the way those tail winds was something else! I was ready to get the lifejacket out and look for the nearest exit. :mrgreen: The pilot dropped altitude so quickly that I couldn't presurize and my ears had the biggest squeaze I've ever had. Worse than scuba diving to 50m. Even the hosty hostess was moving her jaw in a cow like action :P It took about 10 minutes before I was able to pressurize and in the mean time, I thought I was going to go nutz!
Okay, so I made it to Wellington, where I was picked up by my friends father. .... They have such beautiful views of the harbour from their house, which they had so beautifully renovated with love. It was really special.
Day 2 12th November 2003
Today I became a Reiki Master. Part reason of my trip was to do something 'out of the ordinary'. This is what I accomplished thanks to the wonderful support of my friends.
I was shown around beautiful Wellington with the sea on one side and Mt Victoria on the other.
We went out for Chinese, and after we came out, it was night and I was blown away both by the Wellington Winds and by the brilliant sky in varying shades of navy and royal blue. In all my travels I've never seen anything like it.
I know you all want me to talk about property, but that began on Thursday... so you will all have to wait till tomorrow
Stay tuned for the next installment..
Cheers
