The lot had a closed gate but she thought I might be able to somehow pry it open (we were exhausted and feeling desperate), and she suggested that I get out to give it a try. When I approached the gate I was met by an armed security guard who firmly stated "sorry sir, we're closed". I calmly explained our story to her, pointing out that kids were sitting (now staring at us) in the back seat the truck. To my amazement this angel said to me "OK I'll open the gate for you... come on in... I'm on duty until 7am... Your family will be safe in here. "Cheers,-Mark
This is a great story, Mark. It also demonstrates how a simple request can provide the opportunity that otherwise might not be found.
Hope your trip to New Zealand and Australia is fantastic. Hope you have a future TR planned.
