Thursday 1st November.

40 days to go.

Well, I arrived at work to find an email from the resort I had booked for Mrs gus and I to go to over the weekend. I sent them an email as I had not heard from the travel agent confirming my accommodation. It turns out that the resort had confirmed the accommodation was available last week, but the travel agent had not confirmed it. The resort then let out the booking. So I have flights confirmed to the resort and home from the resort, but no accommodation.

The resort has said they can accommodate me on Friday and Saturday. I had booked for the Sunday as well. I will now see if I can either change my return flight to the Sunday or look for other accommodation for the Sunday night. Still unclear as to accommodation on Sunday, but will head off anyway.

I worked through this morning, doing various stuff, along with the person my decisions annoyed last week. He was involved with a job I did and actually joined in supporting the recommendations I was making. Things are looking up on this front.
Picked Mrs gus up. I then gave her the 10 minute tour of Honiara, it should only take 5 minutes, but I drove slowly. We then went in to work and I introduced her around. By the time this is over we return to the hotel. I am greeted with the news that I am changing my room. So we leave her stuff in the new room and take 4 trips to move mine. It is a nicer room though and quieter, finally a win for me!

We then go down to the pool for a while and just relax. We go out for a meal and then back to the hotel. She left home at about 2330 our time and arrived here at 1400 so she has been travelling 14 hours. Add to this the fact she got up on the morning at about 0800 and she has been on the go another 16 hours making it 30 hours.

The resort is called called Fatboys so I hope we can just relax for the weekend. So there will be no updates for my dedicated reader until Tuesday or Wednesday.
