Counting Down

Counting down the days until we leave for South America.

She (the Boss) phoned the travel agent as we had heard nothing. They said the itinerary, tickets etc had just arrived !! The woman we have been using for a number of years has resigned so we will probably change to another firm in future.


When checking the itinerary we found a page missing, we have some queries - for example they say we have to pay an exit fee in one place but don't say how much etc. When we picked it up she just gave it to us unlike our previous agent who went through and made sure it was all there and that we understood everything. Not good enough. However, after picking it up we saw a friend who we know travels a lot and we will probably move to her agent.

Health: Shoulder - saw the physio who said the report said there was a slight tear or something so she has written away to a surgeon but booking in is weeks away so I will make contact again after I get back from the trip. Personally I think it will come right with exercise and time.
Meantime we saw the illness that the rest of them got is everywhere with many schools at half attendance. But our lot seem to be over it now. Thank heaven I didn't succumb (yet).

Sport - Olympics we are still medalless ( is there such a word meaning no medals??) AB's versus Africa tonight - or more like Sunday morning our time.

Had amazing hailstones this morning but quite warm and fine now.

Saw a site on TV3 that lets you add a caption to a photo so I did the following:
