Up, up and away!

Terminal lights seem to "take off" in Melbourne airport.

Getting towards the end of the week, and this is where the schedule starts to bite.

Today, morning meetings in Adelaide, afternoon meetings in Melbourne followed by a business dinner, and now I'm waiting to fly on to New Zealand. When I planned this I thought the overnight flight there would give me a chance to get my night's sleep. I hadn't reckoned with the timezone crossing, though; although the flight is "all night", I've only got a little over three hours on the plane. I land in Christchurch at 5am, then on to Wellington at 7. My colleagues there have promised to have the coffee ready for me!
