Off to Fiji

I’m off to Fiji on Sunday, to do a Koha install and training. It’s gonna be hot and very busy, but hopefully I get a moment or two to relax as well. It will be a Koha3 no zebra installation on Mandriva, so it should all go smoothly.

What the hell am I doing here?

Air NZ are crazy, they make me take a 7am flight .. so I can arrive at LAX at 10am (west coast time). For a flight that doesn’t leave until 9.30pm …. what the hell???
So I’m sitting here for 10 more hours, joy.
