We made it!

Woke up early this (Monday) morning, threw the kids in Dave's car, made it to the airport in plenty of time, off to L.A., meet up with Aunt C, who drove us to a picnic lunch and playground, visit the tar pits, fish tacos at the Farmers Market, back to LAX, board our plane, we all crash (sleep, that is) across the Pacific, get to NZ, minor snafu with our documents (causing a little sweat), find our shuttle and finally this (Wednesday) morning, make it to our lovely little house. Now its time to explore. More later...
