Meg and I arrived on Friday, December 7, New Zealand time. We enjoyed an easy flight from Portland to Vancouver, BC to Auckland to Whakatane, on the Bay of Plenty, southeast of Auckland. Ambien makes sleeping the plane very easy, particularly after a glass a great New Zealand pinot :) As always, Meg and I are amazed not at the miles we have come to get here, but at the complete change of geography and seasons. Instead of snow in La Grande, we are enjoying surf, sand, and sun in Ohope.

Ohope is my favourite place on earth and I go there every Summer I possibly can. I live in Porirua near Wellington.
