Part 1

Gosh maybe I've truly lost the plot here. Traveling with a gnome...1 of the 320 plus from my collection.

Traveling on my own I needed company and someone to bounce ideas off .  Maybe he'll answer back, I guess time will tell.

You see it's her big OE across Cook strait. She says she's scared of the unknown and will get lonely. How can she when I'm there right beside her with front seat view and hoping she doesn't get any speeding tickets with those stripes on her flash New Swift Sports car with a paint job to blow everyone away, and hopefully the cops    too  .

She's talking about" have faith and trust the process". Have faith ...what's she talking about. Says asks her higher power to look after us. What? I guess I've got a lot to learn too. Hey, does that mean I've got a higher power too. Hmm.

Maybe I'm her " higher power". Hang on I'm only a little fella. I heard her talk about crystals the other day. She thinks she'll take some with us on this trip. Oh no way, what a silly idea. What does she think she's doing?

I need to sit her down and say ......Look here what rubbish.

Why doesn't she take some books like me and just read and read cos we are on holiday. She says 2 books are enough for her small car. My guess is we could buy more while we are away. If she thinks I'm racing around like a lunatic, then I've got news for her.

She's into pet sitting, how dare she, it's my holiday too. I suppose she will ignore me.

I want to take a friend, but she says NO, as there's enough luggage etc in the car and no room.

**OMG she's just said we are going on another short holiday Show weekend. We are going on a train to Picton with her friends. She hasn't asked me if I want to go, said bookings are done and tough you're going!! Then she drops the next bomb ...... she's just said we are going on another short holiday Show weekend. We are going on a train to Picton with her friends. She hasn't asked me if I want to go, said bookings are done and tough you're going!! Then she drops the next bomb ......we're going on the mail boat from Picton around the sounds taking peoples mail to them. Says I will enjoy the experience.

Well, I've got news for her, I'm taking my book.

What happens if I pukka all over my book? Oh well, she will have to clean me up. Hehe that's so funny.

A ride on a train and boat oh and staying in a motel. I pointed out that her friends better not snore! I'll just turn my light on and read and that will pee them off. Hehehe
