Last night I arrived at my hotel. The weather is cool, overcast, and
at times rainy. No touring today! ;)

Leaving for America tomorrow,

After much effort (airport express bus to local train to local bus to
walking with a big suitcase several streets in the dark while being
led by Monash University computer science students Brendan and
Alyssa), I have finally made it to the Monash Hotel, room 13.

Whew,

Awesome news and I hope you have an excellent adventure Robert. Say Hello to the Gasson’s for me & us on the list.

If you ever get around to the East Coast, USA, well, New York City and/or Long Island in particular, let me know. I’d be glad to meet you and provide any hookups I can provide. I think Linda Tanner is also in this area.

Enjoy!
Ken Zito

As Trevor Dickinson dropped me off at the Wellington Airport
yesterday, he confirmed that he is coming to the Adelaide Amiga &
Retro-Computing Event on Friday, September 16.

Hello Gaelyne,

Long time no talk. Hope you are doing well.

Yes, it would be good if you and Robert could connect. I just feel he is
not going to have much time. We've done six weeks on the north island in NZ
and four weeks covering both islands and then three weeks in Oz just
between Melbourne and Sydney. Lots to see.

Enjoy your trip Robert.

I'll send you an email with our contact details. I really hope we'll be

The Monash Hotel is in the state of Victoria not South Australia, a typo
I'm sure ;-)

It's a pity travel here is so expensive and distances so great, there is
so much to experience outside of the major cities.

In any event, enjoy your C= holiday downunder.
