Tomorrow we head off for a couple of weeks. Everything’s been packed for a day or two. The sealed envelopes instructions for the ten people who have been recruited for our murder mystery dinner in Queenstown have been sent off by courier. All that remains is for us to follow them down there.
We’re driving to Auckland, taking a cheapo flight to Christchurch and hiring a car for a two-three drive to Queenstown. It’s going to be a gentle revisiting of some wonderful country and we can’t wait to get started.
Until, that is, just now, when I phoned to confirm our booking at Omarama, near the Clay Cliffs, and the friendly receptionist wanted to know what our weather was like. “Stunning,” I said, “it’s going to be a beautiful day, warm and clear” “Oh,” she said, “Well, it’s just about freezing here and snow’s not far away.” I think that we may need to go back to the packing again…

Every life journey requires preparations. And like our trip, every life journey requires the appropriate preparations. I need to remember that.
