Waddles 2004 Page of Friends

Hi Everyone!  Rich FINALLY got around to putting some web pages together for me so here are some of my Dome-C travel friends over the last couple of years.  We have been in Christchurch waiting for our baggage to arrive and for a new runway to be prepared at McMurdo. We should be flying out in 2 hours if all goes well, leaving Christchurch on 10 December 2004.

This is my friend Sandy, we always stay with her at the Devon. Rich has been coming here since 1990!  Sandy takes really good care of me and its like a little home for us in Christchurch! If you ever plan to stay in Christchurch, book a room at the Devon by emailing her at: bandbdevonhotel@xtra.co.nz
