Sailing away...

Or, Flying more like it.

Realising that Air NZ gives me 21 days to pay, and that I'm 16 days away from being able to afford it, I just booked my flights to San Francisco.

Depart Auckland friday 2 september 1920h, arrive SFO friday 2 september at 1220h (thats lunchtime folks, 6 hours *before* I departed.)

Depart SFO sunday 18 september at 2145h, arrive home 20 september at 0530h. Go straight to work... yikes!

*bounce* excitedly!!!

Oh dont worry, I wont let anyone forget :-D I hope we get to meet while I'm over mate, I was thinking about scheduling a side-trip to Seattle but dont think I'll have enough time this time, what with all the planned activities in and around SF...

I'm sure I can arrange a big dinner/party/drinks/meetup while I'm there :-)

Dinner? You kiddin'? From LJ, anyway, we know many of the same folks in SF, and I'm sure we'll have plenty of opportunities for quality time.

If you boys want to rendez-vous in Napa, we'll be happy to put people up and hit some fine wine-making establishments

Sounds like great fun to me! I think we'll have to take you up on that, R.

Is that "quality time" like when mummy and daddy take us to the park, or "quality time" that mummy and daddy have when we have to go to bed early?

;-D

Oh look, stop trying to hijack my thread, I will have worn them all out by the time you get there and you'll just be carrying me around (because my ass will be broken) so dont get too excited, eh?

Though I might leave you a small cub or two if you're nice to me.

Love,
Growler.

yeah - that's it online. I don't care to have anything else for fodder for these LJ bitches. What I want is personal.

I take it back then- we ARE on the same wavelength after all :-)

I still don't know when I'll be able to make it to SF to meet you and Da Boof. Preferably sometime when no one else is clamoring for your time.

[identity profile] growler-south.livejournal.com 2005-05-06 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well youve got 4 months to figure something out, and if you dont I'll just have to come back and stalk you in LA.
