GABIT attendees thread

[NZNeep]

I packed sunday afternoon for my 6am Monday flight

I wish you guys could meet Sile, one of the baby orphanage girls. When I first started going a few weeks ago she was unresponsive. I would say her name near her ear and nothing- I thought she was deaf. Today she was laughing away... Gasping with laughter every time I bounced her. Arrgggh. Stupid adoption laws.

I got my travel cards last week...so my currency is sorted-ish.
Still hoping the email from Mumsey comes before I leave...I'm not sure how I will print it out after I leave.

Can you not see your email on your phone?

Only a very few days now until Eh-T is dressed like a stripper...

[mthet]

Sorry this is my fault, I got an ear infection then a computer virus

Huh. Really are the Borg.

Actually I'm not sure how I'll do it as I'll be using a pre paid sim card - never used the iphone out of the country let alone print something from it so it's all new...I'm sure someone will help if I need it.

I assume that the emails will be sent to the email address that was entered during registration. If so, there will be a slight issue with mine. My dear friend PengYn entered my email incorrectly when she registered us . I am not sure if it was updated or fixed in the system. I've checked my email and spam filter and haven't gotten it yet.

Does anyone have any off season hotel recommendations? Cheap is good.

[EH-T]

10 days til AT6 Ripples!!

I'M NOT READY!

Sorry this is my fault, I got an ear infection then a computer virus so my puter was sick all yesterday. I am trying to get them sending out today. Mumsey will post when the deed is done. If anyone can't print make sure you have your AT6 number and ID.

Hope you and the computer are both feeling better.

How wonderful it must be to see the change in her.

That's quite enough of that! Not dressing like a stripper, merely wearing the shoes! For charity!

Y'know, there's this bright green post-it that sits on my "reminders board" filled with a myriad of other brightly coloured post-its. It says this: "january 2012 - email mumsey and change amanda's email addy". There's just no getting around how much I suck, is there? Definitely not the year of the penguin, that's for sure.

You don't suck!

Becks - I hope you get to feeling better soon! *hugs*

Eh-T - shoes for charity good, randomly dressing up the rest of your person in said theme also potentially good at ball, depending on how you swing your backstory...but decidedly out of character otherwise!

Antoa - any luck with the research on the mobile internet provider? You have me curious now! *returns to debating on whether to bring along my netbook or not*

Pengyn - I feel your pain! *tries to ignore mountains of filing and piles of STUFF that needs sorting* :/ *commiserating hugs*

In news of amyness, I had my first official performance review at work last night (and did quite well, thank you boss that I already loved ), got the bank stuff sorted this morning so hopefully my fundage will arrive in the UK before I will , and am currently getting snow tires rotated onto my car (because my mother is convinced we'll have snow before I return...and frankly, I don't disagree...). Have rung the super to get details on in-house unit transfers (they're upgrading the building, so are encouraging current tenants to rent the new units so they can then upgrade the newly vacated unit as well -- it's quite a rent hike for the joys of new flooring and whites (are they still called whites when the appliances are now stainless steel? Hmmmm), although the ability to control one's heat (which we can't do now - other than by opening/closing windows of course) and the increased square footage are definitely intriguing perks). I have a feeling there will be some heated discussion here in the next few days before I leave!

The reviews I have read online for Tep wireless seem to be positive (for the most part) for those that used it in the UK and not quite as favorable from those that used it outside of the UK.

I am leaning towards renting a device. They use the '3' network. The map shows that there is coverage at the Ren. It's only $56 (35GBP) for 'unlimited data' (really 400mb 'fair use' from what I've read) for the time I am there. The Ren charges 15GBP a day (PengYn called and asked) so that would be anywhere from 60GBP (if I don't get it on the day I get there and the day I leave) to 90GBP (for 6 days).

Also, just got my e-ticket! So exciting!

3 has brilliant coverage at the Ren - even down in the basement

That is encouraging I always have crap cell/data reception at any hotel near the airports near here so I was a tad concerned. Looks like I might just give this company a whurl.
