Ngaire, glad you're having a great time on your trip. As you know, we spent a couple of days in Auckland after you left. We went to the Maritime Museaum which was great and took the ferry over to Devenport. Our friends took us out to dinner Saturday night at a great restaurant called One Tree Grill (obviously near One Tree Hill). Our flights home were fairly uneventful but long. I caught some kind of New Zealand crud just before we left so I've been pretty miserable since we got home Sunday night. But never mind that--the trip was fantastic and it was so great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Next stop Antarctica--it's only a little over a month away.
