This month's newsletter daze is over and projects at the office have picked up considerably. Some of today's distractions was regularly checking the airline's arrive times to Auckland, NZ to see when Ian landed. They were about 20 minutes later than scheduled, similar to the two connections previous to to that. The time there is 18 hours ahead of us so now it's about Tuesday, 9pm here and Ian is on Wednesday, 3pm there. Carol has the agenda for his first day at the center so it may be awhile before he checks in with an e-mail. This is the e-mail I sent him before supper tonight:
Subject: How's the gravity downunder mate?
Hi Bud,
We hope you had a good trip to NZ and that things are looking good at the Field Centre. So after you drop your gear and hit the dunny have a good day there.
Cheerio,
the Dad
How's that for throwing in a little Kiwi lingo - I'm ready to go native, just get me a plane ticket.
We just received an email from a staff member there saying, "I'm just writing to let you know that everyone arrived safely and are having a beautiful summers day here. We have started the orientation process, and the students will have access to email soon. I'm sure they will be in contact themselves, but wanted to reassure everyone that the group has arrived and are well. Cheers!"
Boy, am I on target or what. "Cheers"
