all assembled and in the USA

---

Well we are underway. We left Friday and overnighted in Auckland Saturday night. Had a good feed at the Angus and headed off to Fiji Sunday afternoon. We arrived in Fiji and spent seven hours in the airport in transit. Ngae flew in from Christchurch and met up with us here so we are now all assembled and underway. 10 hours later we arrived in Los Angeles and are currently in an airport area hotel until extremely early tomorrow when we fly to San Francisco to uplift our rental car and then we are really underway. I might mention that Tom has had special attention boarding twice so far, Shirley has been pulled out three times and so far all I have managed is an upgrade from Raro to Akl. No photo’s really yet. I am making an album up of the wedding photos but with over 800 photo’s to go through I would not recommend holding your breath.
