It is Sunday night and if I my bag was packed then we would be almost ready for the big trip.  Just discovered that the laptop is crapping its self otherwise whyich i guess is good as I might have been dragging a dead weight around.  Will have to do everything on the iPad so this was me testing it. Not as easy as the laptop but seems to be working.  We fly out of Wellington tomorrow at 10:10 and arrive in Paris 7:20am Tuesday after a 5 hour stop over in Singapore.  Stacked up the kindles with plenty of books.  This is supposed to be a relaxing holiday.
