And ONLY CARRIE would show up in our room, first thing in the morning, with green stuff. Earrings, bracelets, pins, caps, even 2 boas! That girl is TOO MUCH FUN!
We still had food leftovers so we had what would have been last night's dinner for breakfast .... marinated veggies, lamb burgers, stuffed olives, cheese, mimosas .... Cindy Rabbitt you were with us in Spirit!
OF COURSE we had to stop at the Hamilton Salvation Army and a tee shirt shop before our 1.5 hour drive to the Auckland Airport. And in THE RAIN. We have been so crazy blessed with the weather!
We got all checked in at the airport, returned our 3rd rental car, did our duty free shopping, and still had time to toast good bye to New Zealand AND St Patricks Day. Oh yes ... we were a sight.
We had a 5 hour flight to Papeete, Tahiti and the time flew by. Even though we were in coach, we still had a nice meal and ENDLESS CHAMPAGNE!
Tony and Carrie figured out the ropes on the way over. The flight went by almost TOO fast as I couldn't finish my second movie. FRANK .... you are right about the movie "The Big Short". A REAL EYE OPENER.
And then WE ARRIVED
at what I consider our
SECOND HOLIDAY.
TAHITI!
And OMGOSH ....
is it hot and humid!
But we will take this over the ENDLESS RAIN they have had over the last month.
So here we are now,
In our ONE hotel room, for 9 hours.
It was a MIRACLE that the guys procured some ice for us. And the room has cooled down to a bearable level. We are out of here at 9am tomorrow, bound for the high speed ferry that will take us to the island of Moorea for 4 nights.
We have reserved Over The Water Bungalows ....
GIANT CHECK ON MY BUCKET LIST
Its almost 2am as I create this post, on my phone, sitting on the floor next to the bed. Between the VERY SPOTTY Wi-Fi and the trio of snores, I will be thrilled to successfully post this.
We have gained a day, crossing back over the International Date Line, towards home. So when we all wake up, it will be St Patricks Day all over again. And now I THINK we are only 3 hours behind Tucson.
Not so sure how the WiFi will work at our resort, so if you don't hear from us, just know that All Is Well.
Or assume that we got a job and are not coming home.
WHAT AN AMAZING WORLD WE LIVE IN.
WEAR THE GREEN TODAY
and CARPE MOMENTO!
