Off to Auckland


The flight was smooth and the people friendly. My brother and sister in law, Marty & Maureen are waiting for me at the airport. We pick up our rental car and are off to explore and find our way to downtown Auckland - and all this while driving on the left hand side of the road. It sure does feel strange. On our agenda is to head to the hotel and crash. Marty and Mo were in Los Angeles visiting the latest addition to our family - Nathan Douglas DeBeech at 7 PM Saturday night. By the time we are "heads on pillows" in the hotel it was about 27 hours that they have been traveling. For me it was only a 5 hour trip from Sydney. The New Zealanders are very friendly and polite. We are staying at the New President Hotel on Victoria Street directly across from one of Auckland's landmarks, the SkyTower.

We can sit in our room and watch the glass elevators go up to outside of the tower to the 3 observation decks at the top. It was a quick glance out the window and we all crashed for the night.
