No I'm not abandoning Horatio and Archie for Jack and Stephen, fine as they undoubtedly are :) I really am going to the far side of the world. Tomorrow I'm off to New Zealand for a fortnight to meet up with partner and daughter who are over visiting in laws. As partner knows that I am not hugely enthused by family gatherings he has been ( Read more... )

Have fun, drink wine, stay off the SS Puke. (Insert Horatio joke here,)

I'll try! I am taking some of your fic with me to read while I'm away :)

I'm on watch?! But what if there's pirates?! I shall be below hiding. I mean. Protecting the silver. Yes. Have a great trip!

Your job will be to keep a watch on mylodon and nodbear to see that they behave. Think you can manage that? ;)

*gasp* New Zealand! Lucky! And promises of wine, rugby and tall ships are always exciting ... I really hope you make it to the Maritime Museum, it looks like a great place for all things nautical! Have an excellent trip -- and may the family gathering prove enjoyable as well.
(And yes, I would also recommend the Breeze rather than the Puke. Who *was* in charge of naming that???)
I shall PM my new address ASAP ...

We'll all try and maintain a healthy level of insanity while you're away. :) I have complete confidence in our powers of daftness; you will return to find following_sea as happily mad as ever!
*salutes* Safe journey, and enjoy your time there!

Thank you. I feel sure that following_sea is in safe hands! Got your address and will send a card. Have fun while I'm gone :D

TOMORROW??!! :o Well, have a save journey! Where exactly are you going? Will you travel around? I'm sure the family gathering is a small price to pay for getting to see NEW ZEALAND, omg!! You're going to take lots of pictures of everything you see for us, aren't you?? :o)

GRRRRRRRAHHHHHHHHHH! WANT!

Gosh what a lot of questions! I'm going to the Bay of Plenty to stay with partner's dad and I hope not to be doing much travelling once I get there. Last time we were over we did did a big tour down to South Island and went hiking on the glaciers but since I'm only there for about ten days with three days travel at either end I'd rather stay put this time! NZ is a lot like Scotland in some places only with better wine, better rugby and even more unpredictable weather! The main point of going over is to let daughter visit grandpa's cows!!
