Finally, free wi-fi access! I can actually use my own computer to access the internet (assuming the batteries hold out… hmm, wonder if there’s any power points around here). Which means I’ve finally managed to upload the photos properly for this entry. I’m having a minor panic at the moment, because my passport got wet…
Well, we’ve arrived safely, and have reasonable internet access (although this computer is possibly the slowest I’ve ever encountered, and seems to like crashing at regular intervals). I wrote up a huge screed about the rest of our day in Perth while sitting in the airport yesterday, so I’ll see if I can upload that…
We discovered this morning what “rainy season” means. We’d gone out in search of breakfast, and were heading back to the hostel, where we were meeting Derreada. As we were going into the MRT station, otakuu commented on the clouds gathering overhead. When travelled the two stops back to Little India, and when we came…
It’s 7.30 am, and our taxi is coming at 9 to take us to the airport, so I’ve got an hour or so for a quick catch-up of our adventures. But first, what I know you’ve all been waiting for, photos of the gorgeous Arki and Bandit: Arki Bandit And, just to prove to MrPloppy…
(Finally found a power point, so can upload this wee snippet I wrote in Perth) How frustrating! For some reason the photos I uploaded this morning didn’t work, and I didn’t have time to go back and fix them. I thought I might be able to do something about them when I got to the…
And Go!!! (the internet terminal at the airport didn’t want me to log into DD for some reason, so I had to post in LJ instead) Well, we survived leg 1 of our journey (though it felt a bit touch and go a couple of times), and are now settled into leg 2, from Sydney…
It’s 11 am, and I’m sitting here surrounded by bags. Everything’s packed, Otakuu has just texted me to say she’s on her way back from Riccarton, and all I’ve got left to do is put my shoes on. As soon as Otakuu arrives, I’ll phone for a taxi to take us to the airport. And…
Guess what I’m doing tomorrow? 😀 I really should be working (I’ve got a lot to do if I want to clear my desk by 5), but excitement is getting the better of me, and I just can’t stop going and checking the Conventions and Meetings forum and convention website for news updates, and LiveJournal…
Otakuu made it safely to Christchurch (albeit after paying a huge fee for excess baggage – there’s going to be some frantic re-packing going on tomorrow!), and we’ve been to the first meetup of our trip, and had the first public viewing of our presentation. And angela7715 only found two mistakes in it… (too late…
Yep, it’s my tickets. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 And no, your eyes aren’t deceiving you, it’s a proper old-fashioned printed book of tickets, not an e-ticket printout. Apparently my demented itinerary is so complex that the airline wouldn’t issue an e-ticket for it, and insisted on the travel agent using the old kind. Which she did, even…
