Thailand 2009: A gem of a place...
http://gracewing7.blogspot.com/2009/04/gem-of-place.html
After missing out on the annual golf trip last year due to a clash with hockey, I was keen to participate again this year. By coincidence, my Thai client wanted some further work done on the software and additional training so I was able to combine these two activities in the one trip. Thursday, April 2, 2009. A gem of a place. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I play Golf off a 7 handicap and I have played hockey (field not ice) for Western Australia in the Veterans championship 9 times and for ...

Hockey and holiday 2008: October 2008
http://gracewing6.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Hockey and holiday 2008. My 5th trip away in 6 months will encompass the Vets Hockey championship, visiting friends and family and the Mensa conference, taking me away from home for another month. Saturday, October 25, 2008. Then continue my walk through the pier area, past some working docks and up the hill to the war memorial. From there you have a 360 degree view of the bay, the bridge , the city and the mountains. We swung back to the Hobart side short of the bridge and pulled up just about on the ho...

New Zealand Hockey Trip 2008: Up one side and down the other
http://gracewing3.blogspot.com/2008/05/up-one-side-and-down-other.html
New Zealand Hockey Trip 2008. After a number of unsuccessful nominations I am finally selected to play hockey for Australia. This blog covers the Trans Tasman Championship and a week's holiday I took afterwards. This was my first trip to New Zealand. The trip is over and the blog is finished. It may make more sense to read from the bottom up. Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Up one side and down the other. I decide to have a quick look at Phil’s hotel – the Swiss Chalet – before I left. The...The east coast rout...

Thailand Golf Holiday: Two new interests come together
http://gracewing2.blogspot.com/2007/07/two-new-interests-come-together.html
After missing out on playing golf on my last holiday in Thailand, I travel again to the land of smiles with some people from my golf club, specifically to play a few rounds. Thursday, July 5, 2007. Two new interests come together. After my holiday in Thailand in October 2006. After a decent wait of 3 months to ensure I was going to continue with it, I bought some new clubs and found myself not only playing pennants but being the team captain. I also managed to win the B grade competition on the first...

Hockey and holiday 2009: Long time no see
http://gracewing9.blogspot.com/2009/10/long-time-no-see.html
Hockey and holiday 2009. It's October again and this year I'm off to Hobart for the Vets hockey championship. This year I'm coming home straight away and then heading to Adelaide a fortnight later, to see family and then onto the Mensa conference in the Blue Mountains. Monday, October 26, 2009. Long time no see. I'm travelling again, this time to Adelaide. We also looked at some of the photos from Hobart. Dad got home about 6. He'd last his match but had won a meat tray in the raffle. Very interesting an...

US and Thailand 2010: A lazy day
http://gracewing10.blogspot.com/2010/04/saturday-3rd-once-again-i-was-awake.html
US and Thailand 2010. After the success of the last 2 trips to the US I have again been asked to spend some time in the client's office developing new features to their software. By a stroke of good fortune, the timing will allow me to stop in Thailand on the way home to play golf with the guys and 1 girl from my old club. Friday, April 2, 2010. Once again I was awake around 5 and again I did some work for Houston. If I can't sleep I might as well be getting paid for being awake. I play Golf off a ...

Hockey and holiday 2009: What, this old place?
http://gracewing9.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-this-old-place.html
Hockey and holiday 2009. It's October again and this year I'm off to Hobart for the Vets hockey championship. This year I'm coming home straight away and then heading to Adelaide a fortnight later, to see family and then onto the Mensa conference in the Blue Mountains. Sunday, November 8, 2009. What, this old place? The Mensa conference was held at the Carrington Hotel In Katoomba. This is a colonial style hotel that was re-furbished and modernised so most rooms have en-suites. Fortunately the hotel had ...

We looked at my photos from the last US trip before dinner and then watched TV again. I feel asleep during the second of the 2 CSI Miami episodes and of course by the time I got up and got ready for bed was wi...

A long night's journey into day. Once in HK I headed for the Cathay lounge, going up the escalator and down again several times before I finally found it.

New Zealand Hockey Trip 2008: Blowing off steam

This blog covers the Trans Tasman Championship and a week's holiday I took afterwards. This was my first trip to New Zealand. The trip is over and the blog is finished. It may make more sense to read from the bottom up. Thursday, May 22, 2008. The sun was shining again, much like the last few days in Hamilton, so it was quite pleasant. I even took off my tracksuit top. From there I...
