'Ere we go

I warn you now, we have consumed a couple of bottles of red wine and I am just doing a quick blog entry before we start our 26 hour trip to NZ.

Canada is still sunny. In fact I think I have gained some sunburn in readiness for the extremely convoluted plane trip ahead of us. Huzzah! Yesterday we spent the afternoon in town, bought some more dvds, and another book, and then headed to the Commodore Ballroom to see Aimee Mann. The Commodore Ballroom is very cool - lots of tables & seating - we found some fine seating and, being 30somethings, bought a bottle of red wine. The support act was crap, presumably a ploy by the main act to make them look good, but Aimee came on and was v. v. good. I won't go into too much detail in case Mrs Clarke gets annoyed, but she rocked. I even caught Jo listen to an Aimee Mann album earlier today (a first).

Today has been spent doing bugger all. I have read 3/4 of a book, we've packed our bags, had dinner, drunk a couple of bottles of Wolf Blass and talked rubbish. Might go and watch some fireworks later. Then its a 4.30am to get to the airport for our delightful trip to NZ via Dallas & LA. Luckily Jo & I have managed to budget well enough to allow money for a slap up meal in LA airport (we have a 5 hour transfer delay), and I have already checked our entertainment/movie options on our flight to Auckland (some half decent movies are promised).

Due in NZ on 9th August and, once I have recovered from our trip, I will blog from there.

Adios amigos!!!

love
