Flight home

We got super lucky. We got our van sold in a flooded marker. In NZ, the ownership can easily be changed right at the post office. We woke up at 8am and were at the PO in Auckland
when it opened. Luci bought a spinning wheel in Westport back in March and we mailed it general delivery to the same PO. We picked up our box, changed the ownership and went to the bank in a half hour. We were at Quantas airlines when they opened as well. We asked if we could change our ticket to an earlier flight. The lady at the counter asked, “Is 14:00 to early?” We ran back to the hotel, checked out and were on a shuttle to the airport. At the x-ray machine in the airport we ran into Marcus Gronholm and Timo Rautiainen; the driver and co-pilot of the Peugeot car
and former World Rally champs. They had just placed second in the NZ rally that we had just watched. I got them to sign the last page in my passport. At the gate we ran into our friend Adrienne from NH who also worked on the Ice. She had just flown in from CHC and was connecting to the same flight we were on. She too had just sold her van and was headed back to the states. Instead of flying back to BOS via Dallas we got on the direct flight from LAX to BOS. We had a smooth flight and we flew over the Grande Canyon and the Moab area of Utah which was nice. We are currently in Maine. Since we sold our car to my brother Jesse we are without regular transportation. I have to admit that it has been nice to not be driving everyday.
