am I nearly there yet?

yes I am! Auckland, 8am(ish), 12 degrees C,dark, WINTER.

++GOOD: free coffee in baggage hall.
++UNGOOD: bloody BT bloody MOBILE bloody international roaming not switched on despite their assurances. I swear this number is jinxed! Same problem on last NZ trip -- but then my provider was Virgin. Have sent a firm email.

What you missed because of lack of connectivity: me waiting around in Shanghai Pudong airport ...
++GOOD: decent aircon+ 30 degrees outside, chilly inside
++MEH: AirNZ not opening checkin for ages
++UNGOOD: nah, it was all fine.

Missing kitty cat, bed, personal space (tho' have been lucky in that respect, and had an empty seat next to me on the Shanghai->Auckland leg: yay yoga! I can sleep comfortably in a two-seat space!) But only a few more hours' travel and I shall be THERE.

Not reading LJ just yet, nor email ...
