Stuck in Melbourne

I managed to survive the 20 hours of flights and airports to get from San Francisco, to Auckland, to Melbourne. There's a noticable temperature difference when you go from summer in the US to winter in Auckland and winter in Melbourne! A bit disconcerting when I only packed expecting a summer environment.

Worse, it seems I'm stuck here in Melbourne for awhile. I was booked to fly out tomorrow night but just got a call from my employer telling me they've rearranged my flights and I'll be here longer...whether I like it or not. Is it possible to be kidnapped by the people you work for?

Chris,

It could be worse. You could be stuck in Sydney.

At least your employer is paying for your meals and accommodation.

And the weather hasn't been too bad - It could be much colder and wetter. We have been blessed of late.

Actually I have to admit I rather like Melbourne having been sent here a few times in the past. And you're right the weather has been nice.

Apparently much nicer than Wellington - there's a bit of a cold snap there I hear.

So 'stuck in Melbourne' is not such a bad thing. Nor is being 'kidnapped' here :)
