Departing

Awful sleep again.
I speak for both of us when I say we are very excited about sleeping in our own beds tonight.
And PUPPY CUDDLES!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭
We are also pleased to have a break from Miss positivity (Jade) who has such been so negative “I just find that so irritating” “it’s just so annoying how”
are her catch phrases. She also doesn’t laugh. Great for a dinner date but the last few days have been draining.
She is also so damn rude to Ian.
anyway. We are out!
We did start the morning together though where we drove down the hill into town. Kinda missed our vertical walk lol.
Parking was a little challenging but we found 1hr parking for $3 which was great.
All of Ian’s choices this morning about which direction to drive and where to try park were wrong according to someone .… 😆
We went to Ferg’s bakery where they didn’t have regular flavored pies so I got the most basic they had and Will got a pork sausage roll. I got a wonderful juice and Will got a hot chocolate that was literally half a cup of melted chocolate he gave it to me because it was too much.
I agree but it also delicious 😆
We went and had a look in Burton at the boards. If you live in snow areas then absolutely. But man it’s expensive.
Board’s weren’t too much to be fair - like $600
But the shoes are 400 the helmets are 350 etc etc adds up quick sticks.
The weather was miserable and rainy so we just went straight to the airport.
They have another few days in wanaka*

Swapped over our coats when we got the airport and were able to check our bags in quick quickly.
We were there 3 hours early and honestly it’s probably the fastest 3 hours I’ve had in an airport in which I’ve done nothing.
Once they took our bags (I would like to see the rate of bag loss data now that they use machines compared to when they used people. Because if you haven’t see airport staff do it before then you wouldn’t know to take some of the bag stickers for yourself and to stick on your bag just incase the label rips off.
Obviously people have their own labels on bags as we do but a lot don’t. I reckon bag loss has probably gone up.)
we went through tsa quick.
Bought a book about a kiwi on the other side which came with a little plush.
Will delighted obviously.
VERY TEMPTED to buy a sleeping bulbasaur and pikachu but my new idea is to buy 6 Pokémon’s to represent my loyal Pokémon league bros starting with meganium and umbreon. Way better idea.
Just have to fund it 😅😆
We are on the plane now. Captain said it would be bumpy - had a little cry while getting through the clouds.
Seatbelt sign has just been turned off 🥳

Righto. Have come back on here specifically to say my nose has never run so much in my life. I’ve used about 40 issues - my nose is red raw. And im just having constant sneezing fits. Bet the people around me are well pleased.Les mer
