13:36 owen    (it sounded like it was wireless, but the operator didn't really know)
13:35 owen    And I called the hotel, and internet access is standard in all the rooms.
13:35 owen    By the way, I just got a message from Stephen--we are booked at the same hotel as the conference.
13:34 owen    He was checking in from an SF Starbucks

12:09 chris   fair enough, its a long way
12:09 owen    Sadly we've come to the conclusion that our daughter is not ready for the flight to NZ, so we'll have to postpone our trip until she's older.
12:09 chris   and say someting about starving kids in africa or something hehe
12:09 chris   no, but ur mother will :-)
12:08 owen    Will NZ waitresses scold you if you leave something on the plate?
12:08 chris   yeah, portions are pretty big alright .. its ok once u remember is acceptable to leave stuff on ur plate
12:07 owen    ...where they make it cheaper to buy more food than you want than just the right amount.
12:07 owen    Yeah, America's definitely a more-more-more kinda place.
12:06 chris   and shes gotten used to the nz "finish whats on ur plate" attitude
12:06 chris   i think its more portion size
12:06 chris   hehe
12:06 owen    What, you don't have grease in nz? ;)
