Sunday Before Opening

I have posted a photo album on the right to show progress over the past week. We are ready to get the equipment & signage delivered and installed on Monday, food & bev, point of sale and digital menu board on Tuesday and furniture & smallwares on Wednesday. Employees are hired and training at Prince's Wharf, and what a great crew AGAIN! We will be ready for our "friends and family" night on Wednesday. Just wish we had more family here to share it with.

My cousin's daughter, Keri, has been visiting the past two weeks. We haven't been able to spend much time with her, but she's quite the fearless adventurer. She rented a car and toured the north of the north surf spots, hitting Lang's Beach and Shipwreck Bay. Then back to Auckland for a brief respite before she took off again for world-famous surfing at Raglan and then over to the Coromandel. We are expecting her back in this afternoon, then we will hit Mexicali for the farewell meal. I don't envy her flight tomorrow with all of the commotion going on. Air New Zealand is taking all of the expected precautions for flights to the US. However, if you choose to go to Tonga or Australia, you can take your shampoo with you!
