What the heck? 3:00am wake up? That's just wrong in so many different ways. I can't believe how bad it was. It's pretty true that I am not a really light sleeper - Ok, so I slept through an earthquake once... and?...? But 3am doesn't ever register in my world - unless it is crept up on from behind in a drunken stupor.
Anyways - first flight? Auckland - Brisbane. Not bad - I managed some sleep despite huge lanky dude next to me elbowing me in the ribs. He was off to Japan - and I'm not kidding - he's gonna be big... He was well over 6' and having some legroom issues on the plane, so I can't really be that upset with him.

Brisbane airport sucks. Now, don't get me wrong I'm sure that it fulfills its need somehow. But. with 23 customs kiosks, the queue was HUGE. I mean 5am in Auckland multiplied by 3 huge. Just massive. And that was before we got our luggage. Then there was another queue. again - MASSIVE. All in all - don't go to Brisbane. (especially when the food is expensive and 20 dollars for the internet seems a reasonable price!!!)

07/22: Not remotely ready

We've been doing things to the website today. There's more images. That's good. There's more content (not). That's not so good. We've also moved half of our apartment into someone elses car (Thanks Arnold and Jocelyne) and are awaiting the movers. Seeing as I still have to transfer 10-12Gb of data onto my iPod and it hasn't yet been chosen by my wonderful fianc?e I think tomorrow is going to be - ummm fun.

This is just a short one to let people know where I am:
