Rachel, you're in the sub-tropical North (jealous, jealous grinding of teeth!!!!)

Hopefully you have not been subject to the torrent of RAIN & WIND that lashed the Cook Strait yesterday and today and took us down to 3 degrees last night??!! (I hope you OZ girls are feeling pretty smug right now!!!)

My thoughts are with you for Monday, it isn't a nice journey and I think the best advice I can offer (having been there twice in the last 8 months) is don't expect too much of yourself - it's one hell of a journey and emotions/hormones may kick very hard and very quicky. Give yourself time and room, grab all the support you can (BB included) and just try to get through it in one piece.

Come back when you can and let us know you are safe and well (I personally was a bit of a mess but it helped big time to saay so -thanks BB)

Alex

I'm glad you seem
