I have just got back from 3 days in Christchurch at the Lianza (Library and Information Association of New Zealand Aoteroa). This is an annual get together of the whole profession from right across the country.
I flew from NP to Christchurch, via Auckland last Sunday - the day of the AirNZ meltdown. Their whole system went down for almost a whole day on the last day of the school holidays, at first estimate that makes for 10,000 locationally challenged flyers. I am now the proud owner of two beautifully hand written boarding passes and an enormous amount of respect for the positive thinking power and endless good humour of the AirNZ flight crews.
As for the trip home??? Well - fog, driving rain, fierce cross winds and the very real possibility of landing in Whanganui (a two hour drive away) instead of NP. Nuff said.
