George - it was always my intention when visiting Christchurch to stay at The George Hotel and rescue you. I became very excited when told we would be in Christchurch in December and planned some travels with you to Sydney, Brisbane and Montville for the remainder of 2010, then San Francisco, Auckland and France in 2011.
Unfortunately we are here on business and were told by the company we are working for that we had to stay at another hotel.
No bears here. I'm heartbroken.
Tonight I'm coming to dine at 50 on Park. If you're really quick you could slip in under the red merino coat I'll be wearing. I promise you a wonderful life of Grand Adventures.
