Anybody seen my wallet?

Travel is always quite an adventure, isn't it?  I've made it safely to Brisbane, Australia, but unfortunately my wallet and cellphone departed at our stopover in Auckland.  I've outdone even my usual absent-mindedness with this one, but maybe it'll turn up sometime before I head back to Auckland on Thursday for the New Zealand Tech Ed.  And if anybody's at the Auckland airport near Gate 10 and sees a black wallet/phone combo, let me know.  :)

I'm loving Australia so far, Brisbane is a beautiful city, and the people have all been incredibly nice.  The Quantas flight kept us well-fed the whole way, and you've just gotta feel safe on any airplane that has an upstairs.  The weather is very nice, a little cooler than Texas, but very sunny and beautiful.  My goal now is to well-enough with my speech so that they invite me back for next year, I'd love to come down here every year.

It shouldn't be that hard to find it, since I remember reading somewhere that most people in Auckland got their wallets back. =)

Yup, generally a fairly honest bunch in NZ :) Tho I'm not overly biased :)

Marcie, I can call the lost-and-found at auckland airport if you like - and either get them to hold on to it (if its been returned) or I can get it courierd out to work (or something like that)

Righto - just called the airport, got put thru to the police - they said about 3 black wallets got handed in on friday, but they couldn't find your name in any of them.

The guy suggested going up to them anyway - I beleive they are just out of the "your in the country now" door (ie, after you've cleared customs and had the little dogs sniffing at you...), somewhere down by McD's.

HEre's a map:

Just ask the nice guys in the Canadian Mountie-looking hats where the police lost and found is :)

And, when your at TechEd, drop into the Orbiz stand and ask for Nic :)
