Each day I can review what you guys are doing. I am not sure who has the best blogggggggggg. They are both so cool. I am off to church soon so must go and dress. Hot here. We go to Dunedin for a week soon and maybe Stewart Island. Not quite your level of adventure but for us at this age adventure enough.

OHMYGOODNESS, coule I really be seeing this or am I just imagining things?! An update?!
Yay, I'm relaly happy to hear you made it, even thought 3 hours late and bagless - did you also have to get towed into the disembarking bit of the airport by tractor (in your plane)? (We did.)
Make friends with the person sitting next to you? (Manage to avoid my mistake of thinking for a good length of the flight that the person next to me was French, and I think he made the same mistake about me, so we communicated in French until we finally figured English was both of ours first language!)
Am just trying to think of funny stories to be as cool as you, cos I already love your funny story about the dancing!! You rock.
