Today we begin our journey to “up over” so they tell me. Our bags are getting packed and clothes are remaining home as there is “no room in the suitcase”. My gravol and anacin are packed!! All is well!!!

We fly to Vancouver this evening where Joanne and Dwight we meet us. We will spend the evening together which will be awesome. We then fly to Los Angeles tomorrow and from there to Auckland. We arrive in Auckland on February 27th at 6:00 am New Zealand time…that is some time on February 26th our time. I think the time change is about 18 or 19 hours…not sure.
Tamara arrives at 12:30 pm…our friend Cam will pick us up and we will head to Tauranga…where he lives. Hopefully we will be able to blog from the airport in Auckland as we wait for Tamara to arrive. New Zealand will never be the same again!!!
