Griff will fit right in.

The wife and I have done the trip from LA to Melbourne and it is a long haul but luckily we were in the upper cabin of a 747 in B-class so it wasn't too bad. Would love to go back and might get the chance next year with my wife's big Rio Tinto project.

You know what I always think about when it comes to shark attacks? How much that saltwater would make the wounds sting...

Does any of this coincide with your plane touching down?

That's a pretty hard landing.

Griff, check in please.

Gollum tantrum? Collapse of Middle Earth? Peter Jackson special effects?

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!

Well, maybe it happened anyway.

But they can't do that to Americans, we'll sue!

Hope we don't have to.

If he's in Auckland he will be fine. The earthquake was further south, but quite bad. If he was flying to Wellington then there'd be something to worry about although we have friends and family there and most people are fine, but it was enough to split roads and cause massive land slides and several Tsunami waves although they were only 2 metres (6 feet), so not as bad as they could have been.

Where was his daughter going to school?

Aliantha · 11-13-2016, 04:34 PM

I've no idea, but the above map says he was flying to Auckland, so that's the best thing if it's true. If he traveled to either Wellington or Christchurch, they may have difficulty getting around on the eastern side of the country.

That was LJ guessing to approximate mileage and flying time.

He's posting on FB. He's fine. Earthquake missed him.

Don't tell him about the game. It's best he not know.

Griff, nonetheless, check in when you can.
