Kei te mihi nunui ki a koutou katoa. Welcome to our blog.

This blog was created to help us all with our travel to and throughout China, and then home again.

It is about us going back to where our grandfather was from and therefore finding ourselves. (See the 'about me' section at the bottom of the page.) For those who don't know about 'blogs.' It's pretty simple, you can just read them and/or you can add comments if you want to. The first one is usually at the bottom and the most recent addition is at the top of the page. Then of course, you might want to learn to speak a few Cantonese words or play with the kitten in the side bar. I will be adding more things as time goes on.

Have fun, visit this page, join in and I hope that some of the hints will be helpful.


Thursday

Lets start at the very begining.




Ok, got to get over one of my passions and that's these little cuties (and the bigger cuties...my daughters). Back to the main purpose of the blog.

It was decided at the beginning of the year that everyone who could, would try to get over to China. We were going to do a tour and then we could always say that we had been there. Chicks and Bubba had decided that they wanted to go and gave the shout out, then set the date for September sometime. This was important because we all work and had to make sure that we would have enough leave left to put in for our holidays and that they would be at the same time. Another factor was that in September, it would be Autumn in China. The temperature ranging from 25 to 30 C, a temperature that maybe we could all handle. Scary, when on average Auckland's highest temperatures range between 20 and 22C What a challenge, we'll have to take portable fans :)
By the time that was arranged, there were five of us.
