Plans are finalized

I know we're not spending enough time in New Zealand but I'm married to a workaholic and this is the best we could do.

We're leaving Houston on Saturday 14 February to arrive at 0530 16 February in Auckland. We'll spend the day in Auckland and Devonport then fly out early the next morning via Salt Air to Kerikeri for a helicopter tour of the Bay of Islands. After spending a few days in that area we fly to Blenheim for a few days among the sounds and wineries. At 1730 on 24 February we'll fly from Nelson to Auckland to arrive in LA at 1400 the same day (imagine that!). From there it'll be an uneventful flight back to Houston.

My husband is still wanting to move as soon as possible. Seems he's pretty upset with the condition Bush left this country in and has serious doubts that President Obama can fix it in our lifetimes.

Wish us luck.

You'll love it. The Bay of Islands is stunning and Blenheim is where my family used to travel to each xmyth holidays. I'm jealous.
Have a safe trip.

So you'll cross the International Date line twice! Did you know that when it was established it was opposed by, of course, religious people. On the grounds that sailors crossing it in and westerly direction skip 24 hours and that way might miss the sabbath!

Have a great time in NZ. I you have net access please keep us all posted.
