Hey Annabel,
Happy New Year to you too! We would be leaving Wellington on the 16th and probably aiming to hit the track on the 17th. I know it's a bit early for you....we could try to hold out until the 18th if that would help. We have to be back in Wellington by the end of the month to meet some more family that is coming to visit. It seems like we have heaps of time, but there is simply too much to see! Anyway, keep me posted, it would be awesome if you could join us.
Jamie
