The flight from LA to Auckland was really very good, comfy, excellent food; premium economy is well worth the extra you pay. We were upstairs in the jumbo again, took a couple of Maria's magic sleeping pills and slept till they woke us for breakfast 2 hours out of Auckland.
The final flight to Sydney was a great feeling, knowing we were almost home, but it seemed to be the longest. I got so bored, didn't feel like reading, so I watched "The Other Boleyn Girl" - good movie about Henry VIII, Ann and Mary - and played some of those silly computer games.
Nic, our housesitter met us and drove us home where we were reunited with Happy and Alaska. All was well with our house and pets, thanks to Nic and Jo.
To all of you, thanks for following our wanderings - it's been fun writing the blog. Thanks for your prayers while we were away. It's so good to be home!
Over and out.

Last Post!
We're in a little place called Manhatten, 30 mins from LAX. Very pretty beach; nice drive along the coastal area. Right now we're in Starbucks for free internet.
The flight yesterday wasn't too bad at all; we got the exit row again, praise God! They even feed you a basic meal on this trip, and basic drinks and a snack. We're going back to the hotel shortly to head for our Auckland flight; this will be comfy in the 747 upstairs; we fully intend to take a couple of little pills after our late night dinner and hopefully sleep for 8 hours on the way home.
See you all back in Oz!

Last Blog from Waikiki
Sunday Night
The luau was lots of fun, right from when we got on the bus; the hostess had us all talking to each other, lots of laughter and gave us some really good ideas for bus wars. We were the good lookin' bus and we were all her cousins. The organisation was very good at Paradise Cove, lots of fun activities for about an hour before we actually got to sit down and eat, so the time went very quickly. The show was very entertaining, lots of hula, of course, and audience participation. We were home about 10pm.
Monday
Packing again! Nice surprise when we got the bill - the room cost was about half the regular rate, thanks to our friends, Ann and Carl, who own the timeshare! Hawaii is a must do if you haven't been there! Some day we'll spend a bit more time here if we can. We're about to go for a last walk on the beach, then off to LA.
