The face we were looking for!
Nancy Lee CarlsonArrived an hour later than scheduled. Got through security even with a dog really sniffing Bill! Searched for our Gertrude and there she was with a huge smile! We are at the hotel now getting our briefing!
Over half way there!
When we entered the plane there was an entire section in front of us empty. Confused and feeling like sardines in our seats further back. After take off, passengers started moving up to the empty area. We asked and they said sure but you have to be in your original seats when we land! So instead of three across we have a seat between us! Right now everyone seems to be asleep. The choices of movies, tv, and games like Angry Birds are good and we both have our Kindles to read.
Ready, set, go!
Our bags were packed – yes that’s all we are taking! Our ride arrived at 12 noon sharp! Thankfully he said something about our passports. Bill had asked for mine earlier in the day and it was on the coffee table. The ride only took an hour to JFK. Getting through security was almost 40 minutes! I never expected the pat down. Not quite sure what they saw in my jeans!!! But I’m good to go. We found a pizza place and enjoyed a slice. We’ll find the lounge and hang out for a couple hours. Flight doesn’t leave until 7:40!
Darwin & Marco in good hands!
Today Sue C. and I drove to Cindy’s to deliver the birds. Darwin kept asking if we were okay! Cindy now officially has an aviary.
Pre-trip
Anticipation! 11 days until we fly to New Zealand. A trip of a life time!
