Elusive Sleuth

When I saw you the other day I realised how much i’ve missed you. I’m really glad I decided to stop by and say Happy Birthday. It had been over 6 months since I saw you last. I went home and thought about all the time i’ve known you, and realised how much I appreciate our friendship. I never told you that I met you because I wanted to meet you. I liked the look of you, and so asked —- to introduce me. You mean a lot to me. Thank you for being my friend.

I don’t feel like this letter covers it all. There is so much to it. Before I fell alseep I remembered that day I needed someone to talk to, and that day I thought you’d sent the flowers, and that day you put my felts back in the bag all back to front just to annoy me.

You are a strong part of my life, and I love you.

That leaves me one day to pack. ^Gulp.

I’ve had weeks to get ready, and suddenly, here it is!

I’ve got everything ready, in piles, and stacked on my couch. I just need to pack it into my suitcase, and into the car (which needs a clean out first.) But I can’t until Friday morning, because I need my car for work tomorrow.

All in all things are going well.
I’ve found accomdation for all 3 places that I needed to find paid accomodation, and have booked two of those. I tried to book the last one tonight, but came across a problem when my debit card declined. Haha, I need to load it up before I leave.

It worked out for the best that it declined though, because I don’t know yet if I have a place to stay on Sunday, and if not I will be getting to Wellington on Sunday instead of Monday. I read there is a $25 fee for making changes to the booking, so I guess it’s best to wait for confirmation before I book the accom. Wouldn’t mind an extra day in Wellington either! :)

The most important thing is that I get enough sleep, which is why i’ve spread the trip out over 2 and a half weeks. I’ll be driving unfamiliar roads, and through places i’ve never been before, so i’d like to be on my best form for driving.

I’m getting quite excited! Now it is time for sleep though :)

And to the lovely ladies from Wellington, I have messaged you all tonight, and look forward to hearing your ideas! I will try and reply as soon as I get net access! If I have missed anyone who lives in Wellington that I don’t know, please let them know they are welcome :)

I leave this Friday for ‘Part One’. I’m only going an hour and a half, then staying at my nana’s house overnight, before continuing on to my sister’s the next day. It’ll be a long drive to Wellington and back, so i’ve split it up over two weeks, and am staying with various friends and family along the way. :)

• Check with A about accom in P.N.
• Check out other places to Zorb
• Give N the dates i’m staying
• Find accomodation
• Book said accomodation
• Photocopy a few maps
• Get address off B

I’ve started putting clothes aside to pack, and have started gathering all the bits and pieces i’ll be taking. I’m going to try and pack light (which I know i’m not very good at) so I can see packing taking some time…

I’m leaving in 4 days. It hasn’t sunk in. I’m getting more excited by the minute :)
