Hi Everyone,

We're back in Auckland... again! We landed here at 7.30 this morning but our flight to LA isn't until 7.15 tonight so we came into the city to kill some time. As our flight was at 3.55am and our transfer to the airport was at 1.30, we're absolutely knackered!! I bought this spray called 'Rescue Remedy', recommended by our friend Tatiana which you spray on your tongue and it makes you sleep really well, but I obviously didn't use enough of it because neither of us slept properly on the flight here. The flight to LA is our 2nd longest: 12 hours. We're going to have to use loads of the spray to make sure we sleep on this one!

Our trip is nearly over, less than a week to go now and I feel really sad that we have to go back to 'normal' lives, at least for the time being. I almost feel like our experience will be forgotten in a hurry because we've to get back to normal so quickly. Oh well. I really can't get into my head that it's only a month until Christmas now. When you're travelling time kind of stands still from the moment you left home, so it still feels like late summer to me but the shops here all have Christmas window displays!

We're just about to investigate what we can do in LA, but we're def going to Universal Studios now we've got tickets. I want to go to a Basketball game but we'll see how that pans out. I'm hoping we bump into the Fonz at the airport again... this time I'd actually go up to him and go "EEEEEHHHHH!!". I bet no-one's ever done that to him before.

OK, I don't really have much else to say because I'm so tired. I think a Starbucks is in order.

The next update will probably be from London, so until then, look after yourselves.

Love,
Tom and Priti
