Leaving on a Jet Plane, Don’t Know When I’ll be Back Again…
Made it!
After more than 17 hours in the air, over six hours in the LAX airport and passing over one international date time line, Andrew and I are in New Zealand.

PS Bill says “I miss Julia!”
J & A,
First BLOG I’ve visited! Good experience. Can’t wait to start my own. You guys behave yourselves – make us proud. Don’t know if I’m talking to the future or the past. It’s almost 1500 here on Monday the 17th and I should be working. It’s James’ fault – He told me about your site.

Good luck!
