Well finally finished work for 6 weeks. Unfortunately Jude still has to work tomorrow but being off will allow me time to recheck all the stuff we are taking which will leave Saturday to deal to the very last minute items.
I met with the plumber tonight to go over what we require regarding the bathroom renovation so that is squared away; I will ring the electrician Friday to make sure he is still good and then it will all be in the lap of the god's; it will all go to plan and we will come back to something nice I am sure.
Checked the account to find $650.00 missing only to be told by the bank that Mile High Rentals took it! Well you can imagine what went through Jude's mind!! I went into Google and did a search and bingo, found them in Aurora Colorado. After some very clever detective work (I read the web site and Jo's info), this must be where we are getting the bikes from and the amount matches the insurance costs, whew!! This means one thing; it is actually happening! Kick off is only 3 days away.
Friends Mike and Sandy are coming with us. We met the last time at a Ulysses Meeting on Tuesday night and we were all pretty excited then; God help Wellington Airport when we all meet there on Sunday at 1400hrs.
Jim and Colin have kindly offered to take us into the airport on Sunday to see us off; I have left Jim my bike's keys and the doodah to get into the garage so I think this is a ploy to make sure I go so that he gets to ride a real descent bike, the 250, aye Jim? :-) Seriously we love you both and really appreciate the ride and Jim running the machinery: now while you are around here can you feed the animals and mow the lawns please..............? :-)
Next post will be from San Francisco on Sunday (Monday NZ) which will include a couple of photos I hope so see you all then.
3 Days to GO!!! I'm not excited, I'm not excited..........
