Back at work

Here I am back at Endace. Had an excellent week with my parents tripping around the South Island. They are in Auckland right now probably on their way out to Waiheke Island.

We watched the All Blacks game the other night in Christchurch in a really crowded place called the Holy Grail. Good times. In the morning we got up and took a trip out to the Warehouse and stuff like that then to the Chch botanical gardens then out to the airport. We flew up to Auckland and got there about 2:30.

I had to walk a long ways to go get the car then went back and picked up the rents at the terminal. We went into the city and dropped our stuff at the hotel. Neat place for real cheap on Beach Rd down by the water. From there we went out the Mt. Eden then to Mt. Victoria. Awesome views from both, but it was windy as.

We tried to go to Delicious for dinner, but they were closed because it was Sunday. We called Bubba and he recommended a place called Toto's near the Sky Tower. We went there and it was really flash, but not too expensive. Good food! Hit up the casino after that and played the pokies and some roulette. I am not a roulette fan, but Mom and Dad wanted to play so I did too.

Drove home after that. Got back about 11:30pm and now I am here at work. I think I am going to drive up to Auckland and surprise them at the airport tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I will call up their and arrange to pick them up at their hotel instead... hmmm...
