Holiday plans

I am listening to the news of a great earthquake and following tsunami in Samoa as I type. Some of the villages have been practicing,and there are a great many policeman on duty in Apia due to the transport change over. These have combined to ensure a prompt evacuation from coastal areas. There are also reports of heavy destruction, and a heartfelt plea from a kiwi for help; our hearts go out to all our Samoan brothers and sisters, here in New Zealand and also in Samoa.
