Well today is the day! Planning is over and now the fun begins. Of course, the fun comes at the expense of one immense travel day. K calculates that it will be about 23+ hours of flying time and about 40+ hours of total travel time (with all the layovers). In fact, we just skip tomorrow - the 19th - due to the international date line.
If nothing else, we are looking forward to some nice weather. Below is a picture outside of home just before we left (we had about 4" of new snow yesterday).
For those wondering how K did in getting packed...? Well, not too bad. We have just 2 larger bags and one smaller one - although K is calling the small one her "carry on." Hmm... I don't know if her fellow airline employees will agree :).
So long from the US, we'll have more when we touch down in NZ!
By the way - like the hat on J in picture above?? [Note: NZ and Australia have some Ozone problems and recommend a hat that covers your ears.] K said I looked like a dork, but then proceed to get one. We will be a pair of American dork's down under. That should set American relations abroad back a few decades.
