A Lay of The Lands

 

 

 Just so I can get my bearings straight.

 

Except for a trip to Australia in 1997,

I have never been to this part of the world.

 

Our LONG journey will start in Tucson at 6PM on a SUNDAY,

and take us from

 

Tucson to Phoenix

Phoenix to LA

LA to Papeete, Tahiti

Papeete to Auckland, New Zealand on the North Island

 

and finally from

Auckland to Christchurch, New Zealand on the South Island

 

We will arrive at 5PM on a TUESDAY.

 

Crossing over that International Date Line

always messes with my head!

 

But I have figured out that it will be

27 hours of travel time,

so when we land (ON TIME!),

 it will be 9PM on MONDAY in Tucson. 

 

I can already imagine how WONDERFUL

it will be to lie down after

ALL THAT FLYING!
