getting there...

finally figured out the NZ007 flight. seems i have to travel on a monday or wednesday to get it.
so i plop in wednesday to travel.
of course, i forgot one important thing, and that's the fact that i don't arrive until TWO days later. and the Southern Exposure weekend starts on Friday. ERGH!
Monday is a hefty price increase and i don't wanna stick the NZ peeps with that. :-(

Otherwise, i can travel on Tues, but that means SFO to LAX to Auckland to Christchuch. booo!
and i dont wanna stick myself with that either.


I'll probably  just suck it up and arrive on the Friday, I can usually sleep ok on airplanes.
my workshop isnt til sat. i better write the fotog i'm working with to say hello at least.

-----

so then, i think i have my dates sorted finally.
i wanna get back to Cali so i'm going to skip the pacific island thing as well as the philli island. :-(
i'll get a decent amount of pacific ocean in the next couple of months and during this trip at least!

yesterday went out for dinner with everyone
mistress_sandra wanted to check out this place called Sofra
it was yum
i got the adana but it wasn't as spicy as i would have liked
and well, i'm used to getting grilled tomatoes served with it.
no biggie. it was still good.
even better after i finished it off with a coup caramel

great view and great weather = great time!
