To Far Off Oz

On the weekend before Craig was due to leave for sunny Australia, Craig's Dad took the boy for a ride on the family's trusty motor-scooter. Craig was dressed up very warmly but still complained about the cold wind on his face and hands. No surprise really, it was about 10 degrees Celsius. He was happier after getting off at Neihu Sports Park and going for walk.

Not long before Craig's last day at kindy before Chinese New Year, he received his semester report card. This is a more realistic assessment of Craig's abilities than the last one where the teacher gave him "Excellent" in every category.


Finally, the day to travel arrived. After being picked up from home at 6:30am, Graham fell asleep during the drive to the airport.

Thanks to Cathay Pacific, the flights went very smoothly. Graham spent his first night in Oz in a motel, but both boys were extremely happy about not being on the airplane and couldn't sleep until it was very late.

Both boys slept in until it was time to take a taxi to the airport but by Sunday afternoon they could walk around in the warm summer of Yeppoon.
