Posted November 10, 200816 yr Well guys and gals I'm afraid to say that I will be MIA from Wednesday till Saturday week. I am going over to the Land of the Long White Cloud... It wasn't a planned trip so I'm now desperately trying to teach my father in law how to change the birds water and food. I am so scared that when I come back the birds will have escaped. Grrr.. entrusting someone to look after lip and len isn't going to be easy... Well I hope you all have a stress free week while I am away and don't forget to post lots of photo's so that I can look at them all when I get back
November 10, 200816 yr I'm not 100% sure so don't quote me on this, but I think they have internet access over there now. Have a safe trip!!
November 10, 200816 yr That's New Zealand If you are really worried let me know, other than a couple of babies which I'm handrearing at the moment I have no other inside birds so I can find a spot for them if it helps
November 10, 200816 yr Author Yeah it should be okay. Lets hope. I'll be calling every day to check up.
November 11, 200816 yr Have a safe, enjoyable & relaxing trip JB ...... I'm sure you will be ringing to make sure the birds are fine
November 11, 200816 yr I hope you have a great time while you are away, the forum will miss you!! :hap:
November 11, 200816 yr I'm not 100% sure so don't quote me on this, but I think they have internet access over there now. :hap: Have a safe trip!! Oooo ouch! Well we've had internet for at least 3 years cause I've been on here for that long. I hope you enjoy yourself while down here. The weather is sort of behaving itself.
November 11, 200816 yr Hehe, sorry Sailorwolf :hap: My in law's family are from there, i love the place!
November 11, 200816 yr Author I hope you enjoy yourself while down here. The weather is sort of behaving itself. Sort of behaving itself!? Weather channel are telling me showers and 19, 20 ,22... maybe I should take my budgies lol, its going to be 30 here...
November 14, 200816 yr Author The trip is coming along well.. Had the family service yesterday and the funeral was today. Would've been good to get back in time to see him alive but unfortunately that wasn't meant to be... As of tomorrow I get to go sight seeing. Auckland here I come... might pop down to Rotarua and Hamilton later this week..
November 14, 200816 yr So they do have internet then?? Sorry to hear you were attending a funeral! Hope you enjoy the rest of the time there!
November 14, 200816 yr Author Yeah they do... amazing really! Who'd a thought... I just thought Neville and the others were rich or something!!! nah just wasn't sure how much time I would have to get on... My wife is Samoan so when they put on funeral's and stuff it tends to be a fairly big event... not alot of time for anything else and you can have visitors coming for the next week or so... Its great to experience but it can also be very tiring...
November 20, 200816 yr Author Well tomorrow I get back... haven't heard any bad news about my budgie's so I am hoping no news is good news... I am really looking forward to take some pictures of them... not that they have changed but you know just wanna take more photo's... New Zealand has been great fun. Broke down yesterday driving back to Auckland... about 2 1/2 hours away... that was so fun. Wanted to head up to the north today but didn't get to. I went to the zoo hear in Auckland, it was really good actually, lots of birds, and other furry critters. took lots of photo's, I'll see how they come out and might post some up... Well, thanks to the New Zealanders for having me, its been a great time. in 10 hours I'm outta here!!!
November 20, 200816 yr Glad you had a fun time, didn't even seem like you were gone here since you kept us updated .
November 22, 200816 yr Author Well here are some pics of the Auckland Zoo that we went to visit on my son's birthday when we were in NZ... It was a great day, we are going to go to the Melbourne Zoo sometime soon as well because he enjoyed it so much... I took a lot more pics but they didn't turn out great...
