HI - This might be bit of a mixed bag - 2 weeks into our holiday and finally taken a break from beaches to ad some photos - not as easy as I thought to add stuff on the road - not everyone has broadband either....

Diane and I rushed to the airport Aug 29th only to find nobody there !!! - after weeks of late nights passing over all the bookshop details - I thought I must have the wrong day - Horrors - anyway turned out that the plane was a little delayed - like 5 hours so rather than rush home again we spent the first 5 hours of our holiday relaxing at Momona airport - along with several friends from Macandrew Bay - who had also lost 5 hours of sunshine.

23 years ago I left Papua New Giunea and best friend there took me to the airport and my last vision of PNG was him waving goodbye as the doors closed. - We have kept in touch and so after 23 years of bookselling it was like a time machine to see Brian Deutrom , my mate at the airport when the doors opened. We have kept intouch with emails and phone calls but never met in all that time...... needless to say it was 3:30 am our time when we finished the last coffee and story....
Here we are !
