Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Auckland / Southland gearfest

Re: Auckland / Southland gearfest
Yeah, I appreciate that, and it sucks. It’s just that there is a very long wait for MIQ places—months. You might want to have a place booked, even if you then need to move it later.Bg wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 9:14 pmI have no idea when I can return yet, that’s the biggest problem
Situation sucks, and I think several of us on here can relate. My dad passed during the aftermath of 9/11 and I was living in the USA. I could not get a flight to the UK at short notice, nobody could. Best I could do was make it to the funeral

Sorry to hear about this man, the uncertainty must be tough.Bg wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 9:14 pmI have no idea when I can return yet, that’s the biggest problem
Just a bit of advice - apparently it’s far easier to reschedule a MIQ slot than to book one at short notice. You may want to book the first available slot and then reschedule as needed.

Sorry to hear about your situation. A normally hard thing made much harder by the current global state, wishing you and your family all the best through it all.

Re: Auckland / Southland gearfest
It makes it harder as I need a return flight booked prior to the miq place afaik, so I need to move both the flight and the place.olegmcnoleg wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 7:19 amYeah, I appreciate that, and it sucks.

Re: Auckland / Southland gearfest
I'd love too, but its a struggle getting cash sorted for this trip. I have no idea how long I'll be there - my workplace won't hold my job open longer than a month maybe. I could be waiting for miq for longer.

Its also sounding like my trip will to bury the old fella and sort out a resthome for my mum - 2 weeks before I can leave.

Re: Auckland / Southland gearfest
Ah bugger, not good. Having all my family in the UK and parents with health issues I'm expecting something along those lines coming up, but being on the other side of the world definitely makes it hard.
I hope something works out for you.
