All My Bags are Packed, We're Ready to Go…..


All our bags are packed and repacked and packed again and weighed and repacked ------ You get the picture.  We thing we've got it now --- just a few odds and ends to stuff in at the last minute.  And yes we are on the blow up mattress on the floor ----- I believe along with some expletives I might have said "I'm too old for this" as I rolled off the bed and got up this chilly morning.  We are back to camping out in our lovely cottage.

It has been quite a year and we have spent the week saying "good bye" to several friends --- Sue, Chris,  Carolyn, Katie, Steve, Adrienne and all the zumba gang, Barb and Jeff, Eric and Martha, Felix, Flo, Penny, Sylvia, Lola, Graeme.  David had a wonderful send off from the center with an Elton John song reworded for him and his work with the crisis team.  He felt very appreciated.  Now after a flurry of teas and dinners we are gearing up for our day of travel.   We will miss our cottage by the sea and all that came with it!!

A final pictorial farewell to Howick and  Auckland City












All set with our All Blacks scarves (thanks Steve)


We enjoy one last sunrise!

Thanks New Zealand for a wonderful year!!
