I'm back!! Wow, it seems like ages. I received the fuselage kit today and I'm pleased to say that it cost me considerably less to release from NZ Customs than I had anticipated. Which is good, because I can now concentrate on that $9000 credit card bill I've clocked up. No matter, that'll be gone in 3-4 months at most and we'll be back on an even keel again. I was dismayed to see that one of the boxes had been kissed by a forklift, but I lucked out. It was the one soft corner of the whole shipment where the Classic Aero seats were. Phew! My future brother-in-law did the deal with the trailer to get the boxes back to my place and I spent a little time unpacking and checking the smallest boxes and prising the lids off the other two larger boxes. If anyone is wondering where the rain forests are going: they're all in my garage!! :-) Vans certainly likes to pack with paper; they must go through tons of the stuff!! Anyway, a little later on my sister and brother-in-law returned for the promised pizza meal and we watched a DVD. First time I've relaxed in ages.
