Down Welly

I went for a lightning trip down to Wellington earlier this week for work. Oh look, here's a photo...

For the flight down I was in business class! (and that's a first for me) I figured there must have been some kind of mixup, but it was a welcome surprise. For once I was one of those tossers sitting up the front in one of those big fat chairs with excess legroom - muwahahahahaa!!

Anyway, later on I got a text from my buddy's sister, "I hope you enjoyed business class". Took me a while to click actually, but eventually I figured it out. In her role at Air NZ she wields Upgrade power - which makes her a handy person to know indeed ;) I spoke to her the night before at her birthday dinner (her big three-zero actually) and mentioned my flight details in passing. Evidently, she remembered and somehow moved me to business class :)

While I was down there I caught up with my friend/relly Camellia, did some work stuff and also visited some of my Wellington based team-mates.

Also took a pretty pic from the plane on the flight back to AKL...

Also, touch season started yesterday. Nothing noteworthy to report on... yet
