Disneyworld! Well.. nearly…

Tomorrow I’m off to Orlando, Florida, for a few days. Work; career fair thing. Should be good. My flights are pretty evil – three hour stop overs in Atlanta & L.A. (there and back, respectively), which is retarded, but.. about my luck. There’s even the claim that the L.A. to S.F. leg is a turboprop.… Read more

Alpine Meadows Panorama

Here it is, finally, in all it’s shoddily-pasted-together glory! I spent a good couple of hours on the previous two, and I really can’t be sodded spending all night tweaking this one. Don’t look too closely. :)

Alpine Meadows skiing

So, skiing. Friday morning our plans changed – James, whom works at Loopt, was able to get their corporate cabin for the weekend, which is up somewhere just north of Tahoe City. So we cancelled the motel in South Lake Tahoe (pfft, $160 cancellation fee… arses) and planned to hit Alpine Meadows instead. The name… Read more

New Zealand Day 2

22nd of March, 2007[continued from previous entry] At some point I also met Marie? [[Moreen [[Maureen]]]], who’s name frustratingly escapes me all the time.

New Zealand Day 1

21st of March, 2007[continued from previous entry] So I was a bit seedy still in the morning. I’d set my phone alarm to 8:30am, so that I’d have time to grab breakfast (7am-9am) and shower before checkout (10am). However, at about 8:50am I suddenly realised I hadn’t set my phone’s clock forward, so it was… Read more

New Zealand Day 0

My recent [eventual] success at producing an entry for Cairns has inspired me to go back to my [paper] diary from my New Zealand Contiki trip and write a bit about it here. It’s going to take me a while, though… if nothing else, I have to try and sort the whole lot out, and… Read more

Cairns

So, my recent trip to Australia. The flight over wasn’t too bad, all told – I was way up the back of the plane, in the middle seats, so I had nothing to look at but the seat in front. So I watched the Chaser or whatever on my phone, for a bit… watched Die… Read more
