The weather has changed recently and the highs are only peaking at a chilly 32 on average. In the morning when I start work at 7, it is 21 degrees!! You almost need a jacket in that weather.
I have officially booked my New Zealand ticket and will be catching an overnight flight from Sydney to Christchurch on April 14 with a return from Auckland on May 15. I am actually getting a little nervous now that my days at Auski are numbered (19 to be exact!) I have done a little planning but still need to book a car rental and work out a few hostels. God knows what I am going to do in Christchurch at 4:15 am when my plane lands. It is a ridiculous time, but for $108 all told for the trip it was worth the suffering. A gal from my hometown lives in Sydney and works for VirginBlue Airlines. She has very kindly added me to her staff discount travel list and my flights are easily changeable and refundable. Three cheers for High Prairians!
Not much else to report, other than a bit of a staff shakeup out here- my friends Jene and Therese have left for a trip around the world and there are a bunch of new folks to get to know. With less than three weeks to go, it almost doesn't seem worth the effort, as awful as that sounds. I have met so many people in the past 4 months that I will probably never see again that it kind of bums me out sometimes. The price of being a transient, I suppose.
