Plans for today (2025)

Drinking tea, going to make some brunch omelets shortly, then washing sheets, cleaning bathrooms, and vacuuming.

I will start packing Saturday since we leave Monday. I know, it seems early, but I need to go through some packed away summer clothes and put some aside to donate and try on a few things I haven't worn in awhile.

My plan is to get my packing down to one suitcase. I am a notorious overpacker, LOL. But in all fairness, when we drive instead of fly, I can take 2 suitcases if I want, and we do need a carryon size for the hotel stays on the way to the resort and back. This time we are flying to our destination so no overnight hotel stays on the way, and the airline charges a checked bag fee, so just 1 checked bag each for me and DH. His suitcase will be smaller than mine, LOL
 
We left yesterday at 11 am to drive to Kaikoura for a wee break.
2 1/2 later arrived to a beautiful day. Went seal watching..the whale watchiboats were out. 4 of them. My wife's brother daughter ( illegitimate) found each other 10 years ago is a captain on one of them. Wwnt to pub and had tea then played pokies. I turned 20 into 70.
Shirl got a mini jackpot $120
Went back to motel i opened a bottle of gin my son got me for father's day. 44 proof. I was out like a light at 10pm.
We've just got home at 2pm. Food stops along the way were pathetic.
I
A bakery that doesn't sell sandwiches. Drink cabinet had 1 fanta 1 lemonade and 2 coke. Heaven forbid a bus stops there.
Stopped for " comfort stop " where we saw the ugliest couple I've ever seen.
I waited until they were back in their car before went. Lol
