November 16, 20232 yr We are flying from Wellington to Christchurch this afternoon for a staff retreat and today the weather is already a notorious windy day and raining sideways. October and November are the windiest time of year here so rest assure it will be a bumpy ride. Forecast is already calling for 35 knot winds at our time of departure Maybe I'm crazy but I love these bumpy flights 😁 Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
November 16, 20232 yr You're not crazy or maybe so, anyway: This is why I really enjoy live weather. You might get a big challenge or perfect weather. Depends on the...weather? Yeah.

I remember my former wife's grandmother, who lived in Lower Hutt Welington, saying that the way you recognise someone from Welington is by the fact that they'll have one hand holding their hat on. Which aircraft Mathew? And by the way, your ferry is now in Guernsey and serving us well. Edited November 19, 20232 yr by martin-w

November 21, 20232 yr Author Our second attempt at getting home didn’t work, we departed with a full flight mostly people rebooked from Sunday, made the approach and aborted on short final, went back to Christchurch. Next flight is on Thursday which is too far away so we cancelled our flight, we are taking the bus and the ferry tomorrow instead, I’m tired and just want to see my kids this has become Trains, Planes and Automobiles New Zealand Edition 😩 Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
November 21, 20232 yr How long will the journey take Matthew? Me and my ex wife drove from Auckland to Wellington which was quite fascinating. Did a bit of driving on the south island, including Christchurch but never got as far down as the fjords.

The flight is only about 45 minutes but if the planes can’t fly this is the only option Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
