Only around 35-40 K Good idea sweep.I think it would be nicer to pick them up from Auckland Airport. Not much fun trying to sort out bus trips on your first visit to a country. I can do that if needed. It sounds like they havent travelled much and jet lag is a big thing if you are not used to it. Even though I travelled regularly to the States it took me at least three days to take a real interest in my surroundings. I think if Joe and his wife do come out it would be worth getting together and planning an itinarary. |

| 812907 | 2009-09-23 08:00:00 | True but there will no doubt be lots of things for them to do in Auckland before heading South. Like a PressF1 lunch for a start I guess. | Sweep (90) | ||

Joe just head South of the Cook Strait Wratty, Scouse and the rest of us will give you a welcome and some fishing if you talk to Wratty nicely fishing's not my thing. |

| 812909 | 2009-09-23 15:20:00 | This is getting more and more interesting . I'm gonna be finishing up the move for the next ten days or so, then onto dial-up that is slower than smoke signals and we'll get this all sorted out . Things should have settled down by the first weekend of October, I hope . 3 or 4 weeks might be nicer . It won't affect the airfare, so it might be a lot nicer that way . What does NZ charge to immigrate with Social Security guaranteed checks, monthly so I won't have to be in competition with the local employment factor? Belize has sent me invitations every few months to retire there as I meet all their requirements and won't work for a living - but spend retirement my funds there . I've got to go out and get my useless son-in-law to start taking down our chain link fence on the North side of the property here in Hemet so I can get the moving trailer onto the site and start hauling out some big stuff . Monday, the rest of the fencing comes down and I haul it and my tool shed and all the tools in it to Anza - about 50 miles away (64 klicks) . Breakfast awaits - waffles, drenched in drawn butter, m/maple syrup, three eggs-poached and a slab of butcher-ground sausage patty - hot Indonesian Roasted coffee and half&half . |

| 812911 | 2009-09-23 16:27:00 | What's drawn butter? And half&half? OK - English lesson I guess! "Drawn Butter" = melted butter, served usually in a small cup or flan cup that is poured upon or foodstuffs dunked into for the act of adding butter to the food just prior to the moment of consumption ie: at the table and usually on the serving platter . "Half&half" = 50% thick cream (usually 'whipping-type') and 50% of 3% milk, by volume . BTW: 3% milk is the normal cream:milk ratio for milk sold in the US . It is marked with a red cap on the bottles, whereas blue tops are for 2% or less butterfat in the homogenized version . The cream percentile is the only number usually reported and the straight milk portion is understood . |

| 812913 | 2009-09-23 20:18:00 | I suspect a "PressF1 Get Together" may be scheduled for each major centre you visit.... We may have to find somewhere a little more salubrious than the Albert Street Food Court in Auckland to take Joe and Rosanna though!!!Balls mate.. that foodcourt represents a huge number of NZ residents! ;) I reckon I've been there maybe 8 or more times. Haven't you been there? The variety is fantastic. It almost makes me wish I was back in Auckland! Anyway... back to Napier... I'm still unfamiliar with the local restaurants, but me and my brother sure know how to cook a great home dinner. And of course the local fresh fish is world class! |

Why the fixation with asian eateries in the central city. There is more to Auckland than the CBD in fact I have refuse to go into the city unless there is an urgent need I despise the place. but I am a country boy. |
