well, this could possibly be the last posting i make for this trip.

we are flying air tahiti nui and don't know if they will be as "upscale" as Qantas in having a very nice club at the airport.

up this morning and having breakfast in the lounge. another gorgeous day here in auckland - bright blue sky - not a cloud in the sky.

forgot to mention there were two other couples that shared our tour yesterday on Waiheke Island - two of them were a married couple from the UK who were journalists for the Sun. The other couple were from Orange County California although he is a new zealander and has lived in the states for quite a few years.

hopefully our future travel plans will include this part of the world.

our plane trip today takes us to Fiji for a short layover and then on the LAX flying through the night so hopefully will get some sleep then.

it is hard to imagine in about another day and 1/2 i will be back to work and it will all be behind us.

Ciao!
