Ask me NOW how long the flight is from OKC to NZ -the answer is 28 hours! I did sleep about 6 hours on the LA - Brisbane flight so that was a plus. Spent some time at Brisbane airport reacquainting myself with lollies and chocolate - pics to come! Travelled all the way in my shorts - chilly here but not freezing. Big adventure tomorrow as I head to the US consulate to get my visa so I can actually get back INTO the US in July. Staying with friends, Linda and David and kids here in Auckland. Linda and I have been friends since high school - that's a looooong time. Very cool to be talking kiwi with kiwis!
