Tonight we head off on the 11.59pm flight back home, well, back to London anyway, giving me 28 hours on a plane to contemplate the wonderful two weeks we've had in New Zealand. I've learned so much and hopefully contributed my supper's worth on where we can take things further not just in the southern seas, but in a north-south collaboration that I am sure will pick up even more speed in the coming months.
I must thank Core-Ed for organising and hosting a wonderful discovery trip, and supporting my family's stay here, too. We all feel part of their close family, and I'm looking forward to working with them in the future. In the meantime, to keep you entertained, I leave you with an alternative "kid-friendly" (if it's possible) version of the New Zealand haka. I much prefer the excitement in the less tame All Blacks-Tongan version. I'll leave it up to you to decide which one you prefer.
I prefer this one myself

Hope your flight is as comfortable as possible.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet you, talk with you, share a bit of kiwi bloggerism with you in the bloggers cafe, be inspired by you and to learn from you. I had a blast in your Podcast workshop, learning so much in such a short time. Mr McIntosh, we were told you would be great and some. You certainly were! Keep in touch and please don't leave it too long before you come back and visit us again.

I didn't get to speak to you F2F and I'm sorry about that, but your visit has been an inspiration and opened up a whole can of worms in terms of ICT practise for my school. I was delighted my Principal attended your keynote.... Thanks.
