25th May and what a 2 weeks it has been....we sold our house at 218 Rangi Ave and we have literally had 10 days to move out as we fly out of NZ on the 28th May.....needless to say it has been a bit stressful but with help from wonderful friends, hopefully we are on track to get everything done.....I developed an aggressive caner in my ear which has meant many trips to Tauranga, 2 operations and a skin graft which meant we had to cancel our trip to the Noosa Food and Wine Festival with our Whangamata Wine Group...all very disappointing.....that's about us for the last 3 weeks and on the 28th May we fly to Dubai, have about a 5 hour layover before flying onto Oman for our 1st little safari so our next post we should be able to tell you all about Oman and then we fly to Ethiopia for our next safari and hopefully more info about what we have learned about these far off places!!!!  Until then....you can all add a comment to our blog if you want to by going into the comment section of the blog.....Love to all our good friends and family in NZ....Faye...
