The longest flight of our journey is complete. 12.5 hours! Whew! That was a long flight. We watched a couple of movies and thanks to Unisom were conked out for the better half of the flight. As we were coming in to Auckland, we noticed very low hanging clouds that covered huge expanses of the water around us. The man sitting next to us said that NZ is known as the "land of low hanging clouds". Apparently named this by people who settled the islands hundreds of years ago. He also pointed out several volcanos from the plane and mentioned that NZ is also known for it's over 48 volcanos...some of which are still active.
We have also found that Marmite and Vegemite are here in NZ. I have heard of this spread, but have never tried it. David wants me to try it... I have no idea what to expect. We'll keep you posted. We'll try to post some pictures after we get to Tahiti.

Hi Dave & Julie,
Sounds like you're off to a Great Beginning on your world trip.

We had a very good Thanksgiving with Lisa, Joel, and Elena. We took her to Meijer's Gardens as they had beautiful Christmas trees from many different countries.
Great weekend of college football with many upsets.

Jake and I are running away together. Hope that's okay!?!
He is a doll - but you knew that! We are having a blast together! He comes meowing down the stairs as soon as I get to the house and rolls over uncontrollably for about 5 minutes.
Today, he fell asleep on my lap for over an hour! My legs were asleep, but it was worth it!
He misses you and sends purrs!
ps - not a single "oops", so far!
