These few days I was so caught up with the planning of Australia trip that my mum was wondering where we were and how we were doing. Called her up and she was so relieved to hear from me. She said she was extremely worried after hearing there was a duststorm in Sydney. Yes! The dust storm was rather scary. The whole sky was orange in colour and my car was covered with dust. Channery's friend walked to school and she felt ill after that. Those who have respiratory problem was told to stay at home as it is quite dangerous for them to wander out into the open air.
Actually now that everything has been booked, I am beginning to feel whether I am up to the challenge of driving around New Zealand. Tried driving long distances from Melbourne to Canberra, stopping only for toilet breaks for abt 6 hrs but somehow the type of roads are very different from Australia. Theirs are more of mountain roads and they practically all two lane roads - one direction each. Both of us have to be really alert to look out for possible hazards.
Looking forward to going for the trip and creating wonderful memories for the whole family. The kids are going to love the activities that we have planned. This weekend we are going to send my chickens away to a farm owned by his friend's son since we won't be around to take care of them. Will miss them since they are actually quite fun to play with in the backyard. As for JJ, he has been reserved at a dog boarding house again. Hopefully he will enjoy his 14 days there.
